Dominique Charon Lewis

Deadly force

The incident started with a routine traffic stop. Three adults and one child were in the car. The officer was removing people from the car when Lewis climbed from the backseat into the driver's seat and sped off. Another officer fired twice at the car because it drove in his general direction. Lewis died at Hurley Medical Center later. A judge ruled the officer did not have reason to fire at the fleeing other. Video evidence is available. Police alleged vehicular assault.
