All three suspects in murder of Lewisville pawn shop owner arrested, police say

Lewisville police had issued arrest warrants for 17-year-old Denyrion Keyshauan Skinner and 19-year-old Damonta Jerone Skinner.

LEWISVILLE, Texas — Editor's note: The above video aired when two of the suspects were reported in custody. 

All three suspects wanted in connection with the February 2022 murder of a Lewisville pawn shop owner are in custody, the Lewisville Police Department said. 

Two of those suspects, brothers 17-year-old Denyrion Keyshauan Skinner and 19-year-old Damonta Jerone Skinner, turned themselves in this week. Another suspect was already arrested late last month.

Lewisville police had issued arrest warrants for the Skinners on Tuesday, March 7, for the murder of 54-year-old Daniel White.

According to police, Denyrion Skinner turned himself in at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 7, and Damonta Skinner turned himself in at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 9. Both have been booked into the Lewisville jail on a murder charge, police said. 

Their bond will be set by a judge. Police said Damonta Skinner's first arraignment was scheduled Thursday evening. 

According to Lewisville PD, White was fatally shot on Feb. 14, when three suspects, dressed in black hoodies and blues jeans, rushed into his pawn shop in the 900 block of South Mill Street in attempt to rob it.

Police said after one of the suspect’s shot White, they all left the scene in a Ford Escape SUV, traveling toward I-35E.

Following White’s murder, his family spoke with WFAA during a vigil. His wife, Yolanda, pleaded with the suspects and anyone who had information to come forward.

"Speak up. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you know them or overheard something," said his wife, Yolanda. "Stand up and do the right thing, because that's what Daniel would've done."

In a news release on Feb. 26, police said one suspect, 18-year-old JaTevon Marquise Johnson was arrested in Dallas without incident for his role in White’s murder. Johnson was transported to the Lewisville jail and has been charged with capital murder. His bond was set at $1 million, officials said.

On Tuesday, March 7, Lewisville police said they believed the two outstanding suspects, Denyrion and Damonta Skinner, were in the South Dallas area.
