How they died
Deadly force
NYPD responded to a "man with a knife" call to find one wounded victim on the sidewalk--Lewis's mother's boyfriend, who Lewis was trying to evict. Six officers encountered Lewis inside on the stairs with a ceremonial blade, and fatally shot him. Inside they found that Lewis had also stabbed a good-Samaritan neighbor to death.
