Police were serving a warrant against Lewis for domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend, assault and improper handling of a firearm. After officers detained two men at the apartment, police opened the door to Lewis's bedroom, after which point Anderson fired a single shot at Lewis who was laying in bed.


      Incident


      At about 2:00 AM on August 30, 2022, Columbus Police served a warrant at Lewis's apartment in the Hilltop neighborhood for improperly handling a firearm, assault, and domestic violence. Officers knocked on the front door for eight to ten minutes before a resident of the apartment opened the door. Police detained him and another resident. Police released a canine unit which walked into the kitchen before approaching and barking at Lewis's bedroom door. Officer Ricky Anderson, a 30-year veteran of the department, opened the bedroom door and almost immediately fired once, hitting Lewis. Police claim Lewis was holding a vape pen in his hands but it is not visible in the recording. Lewis is then handcuffed by Officers Knox and Dodrill, who were present at the scene. Police carried him outside the apartment, where they performed CPR. Lewis was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead.


      Investigation


      Body camera footage of the shooting was released the same day as the shooting, along with footage of two recent non-fatal Columbus Police shootings. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting.
      On October 25, the Franklin County Coroner's Office ruled Lewis' death a homicide.
      On March 3, 2023, Anderson retired from the CDP "in bad standing", due to the ongoing investigations into Lewis's death.
      On August 4th, Anderson was indicted on charges of Reckless Homicide and murder.
