Unarmed 20-Year-Old Black Man In Bed Killed By Columbus Police | Roland Martin


An unarmed 20-year-old black man in a bed was killed within seconds by a Columbus, Ohio, police officer on August 30.

The officers were at Donovan Lewis’ home around two in the morning to arrest him on three separate charges; domestic violence, assault, and improper handling of a firearm.

I want to warn you that the bodycam video we are about to show you is disturbing and can be triggering. I want to give you some time to either go to another room.

Ricky Anderson is the officer identified who fired the fatal shot. We could not find a picture of Anderson, who has been on administrative leave since the shooting.

At a press conference today, Donovan’s brother and mother spoke about the kind of person Donovan was.

On Thursday, Rex Elliott, the Lewis family attorney spoke with Roland Martin about this deeply toubling police shooting.

During today’s news conference, Donovan’s mother, Rebecca, referenced the shooting of Andre Hill, another unarmed black man killed in December 2020 by Columbusofficer Adam Coy.

The city paid $10 million to Hill’s family.
