Candy Adams lives with one of her sons, next door to the apartment where Donovan Lewis was shot once by a Columbus police officer.
The apartment building along Sullivant Avenue where Donovan Lewis once lived was quiet Thursday morning.The door to Lewis’ old apartment was bare, bereft of a letter.by Columbus police officer Ricky Anderson around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning inside the bedroom of Lewis' apartment, in the 3200 block of Sullivant Avenue in the city's Hilltop neighborhood.but since then has read media reports and watched the bodycam footage police released.
Standing outside her door Thursday morning, Adams said she takes issue with how police handled the situation.Weekend protests planned responding to Donovan Lewis police shooting“In my opinion, the police officer deserves to be fired for what he did, and he deserves to do time,” Adams said. “Donovan didn’t have time to even react to anything. He sat up in bed and was immediately shot. And that’s wrong.
The shooting has left Adams, who’s lived in the building for the past four months, scared of law enforcement.“They could come into the wrong apartment. Mistakes happen,” Adams said.Some of the building’s tenants also have packed up and moved out of the complex since Tuesday, Adams said.He knew Lewis better than his mother. They met when Lewis asked him for a cigarette.
“He was an OK guy,” Matthew said. “We talked here and there about life and stuff. He said he was going to try to change his life.”“Unfortunately, he couldn’t really control ,” Matthew said.After hearing a gunshot, Matthew removed himself from the door and sat down on his couch.
