A Washington, DC man has been charged with shooting and killing a 13-year-old boy while he said he was investigating noises outside his home.
At his first appearance in DC Superior Court on Tuesday, Jason Lewis, 41, pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder while armed in connection with the January 7 shooting of Karon Blake. Lewis, who police say holds a concealed carry permit, told investigators he was in bed early that morning when he said he heard what sounded like “someone banging on something” and didn’t know if someone was trying to come into his home, according to the arrest warrant.
Surveillance video from the scene shows that Lewis fired at the Kia as one person ran toward it, and Karon then started to run away from a parked Audi he was near and was shot, according to the affidavit. Lewis is the registered owner of the Audi, according to the affidavit. No weapons were recovered near or on Karon, police said in the affidavit.
