The family of Kilyn Lewis wants justice for what they say was a 'cold-blooded murder.'
Kilyn Lewis , 37, seen on body cam video with his arms raised and a cell phone in his hand before being shot by an Aurora SWAT officer.Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department Thursday, June 20, shows Kilyn Lewis — a 37-year-old Black man and father of two suspected of attempted murder — being fatally shot by an officer last month with both arms raised and a cell phone in his hand.
He was being surveilled by police for at least two days before SWAT was called in to make contact due to the"high-risk nature of the warrant," according to APD Chief Heather Morris, who appeared in a video briefing that accompanied the release of the body cam footage this morning. Either way, Lewis clearly raises a phone up — along with both of his arms — moments before Dieck opens fire on him.Gathered at the law offices of Rathod Mohamedbhai on Thursday, Robert and other people close to Lewis, including his wife and mother, held a press conference alongside newly obtained legal counsel to address the body cam video and how they felt. Kilyn Lewis's father, mother, wife and brother were all in attendance Thursday for the press conference about his shooting death.
Anndrec Lewis, Lewis's wife, said during the press conference that she and the rest of his family won't let Aurora Police forget Kilyn's name or try to move on from what happened the way they have with other police-involved deaths, like that of "Contrary to assertions, the body-worn camera video APD released today was not edited," City of Aurora spokesman Ryan Luby says."The three angles of the incident you watched are most of the video footage of the three angles of the incident that exist. Also, no such deadlines have passed to release all body-worn camera footage pursuant to applicable Colorado law."
