Aurora police shot and killed Kilyn Lewis on May 23, 2024.
Lewis dropped his wife, Anndrec, off the morning of May 23 and left to go visit a friend. An hour and a half later, Anndrec got a call from Lewis’ mother. She said
In her first TV interview since the shooting, Anndrec Lewis told 9NEWS that Aurora Police officials who showed the family the video stopped the body cameras before showing the aftermath of the shooting. In the edited video released last week by Aurora Police, Morris explains that officers immediately rendered aid to Lewis.“Who picked him up?” Anndrec Lewis asked. “Who touched him? Who did anything.
So, she hired Hopkins to help look into the case. Hopkins was able to get the department to show clips of the video to the family. Hopkins did warn her the video would be difficult to watch and said parents and spouses should try not to watch. “He's backing up because he turned around and sees four cops with guns in his face,” Lewis said. “So, of course, naturally, he got a little shook up.”“He was like, 'I ain't got nothing. I got nothing. I got nothing,'” she said. “He said it three times. Then, he stopped talking. Even when he was saying that, he still holds his phone and hands up. He still had his hands up until he hit the ground, and he started grabbing for his stomach.
