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
, his family sued the officer and four others in the Columbus Police Department, calling his killing senseless and completely preventable.
The lawsuit also accuses longtime police officer Ricky Anderson of battery, breach of duty, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, failure to render aid and violating Lewis' constitutional rights. Anderson and the other four officers are white. Columbus police said officers had come to arrest Lewis on multiple warrants, including domestic violence, assault and felony improper handling of a firearm. No weapon was found in his home.
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.
