How they died
Deadly force
Police had gone to Lewis' apartment after receiving a 911 "hang-up" call. When officers arrived and tried to talk to Lewis, he produced a handgun and opened fire on the officers, police said. During his attempt to escape from police, Lewis broke into an apartment in a neighboring building and confronted the resident at gunpoint. The pursuit returned to the third-floor landing of Lewis' building, where he refused pleas to drop his weapon and fired at officers. The officers returned fire, killing him.
