Nearly six months after a Black man was fatally shot by a white officer while lying in bed, his family has sued the officer that shot him and four others in the Columbus Police Department
COLUMBUS, Ohio — — Nearly six months after, his family sued the officer and four others in the Columbus Police Department, calling his killing senseless and completely preventable.
Lewis, 20, died at a hospital following the shooting in the early morning hours of August 30, 2022. Police bodycam footage shows he was shot once in the abdomen, less than a second after an officer opened his bedroom door. Lewis appeared to be holding a vape pen, but no weapon. More than two months have passed since prosecutors were selected in December to review the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation's independent investigation into Anderson's shooting of Lewis and bring it before a grand jury. Lewis' mother, Rebecca Duran, said she's frustrated at how long that process is taking.
