Donovan Lewis, 20, was in his bed when a Columbus police officer shot at him on Tuesday. About an hour later, Lewis was pronounced dead in hospital. A Columbus, Ohio, cop fatally shot an unarmed 20-year-old Black man within seconds of opening his bedroom door on Tuesday, as officers attempted to serve him a warrant for his arrest. Police body camera footage released to the public captured the killing. According to Columbus Police Department Chief Elaine Bryant, police were looking to serve Donovan Lewis, 20, a felony arrest warrant on charges of improperly handling a firearm, assault, and domestic violence. The bodycam footage shows at least three officers and a police dog arriving at Lewis’ home around 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Officers knock at the door of his apartment, cupping their ears against it and announcing their presence. “We’re not leaving, we know you’re inside,” one of the officers says. “Come to the door.” After about eight minutes, a man eventually answers the door, telling the officers that he was asleep. The cops enter the apartment and detain two people before announcing they’re going to send in a K-9. The dog walks around the kitchen and then barks at the door of a bedroom. An officer opens the door, immediately draws his weapon, and fires off a shot while Lewis is sitting up in his bed
