A police report mentions the discovery of a pill, needles, and a plastic bag near Lewis III's body. However, it is not yet confirmed whether drug use was involved. His father, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens, has not yet issued a public statement. Lewis III's siblings, Rashaan and Diaymon Lewis, shared heartfelt tributes on social media expressing their grief and love for their brother.

Lewis III followed in his father's footsteps, playing football at the college level. Starting as a running back in high school, he transitioned to cornerback at the University of Miami, appearing in nine games over two seasons. He later transferred to Coastal Carolina and then Virginia Union, contributing on defense and special teams. An official autopsy report is still pending.
