Summary

I'm tired y'all. It's just too much. I feel like we are cutting and pasting the same headlines from previous years. We've seen this before. And before that. And before that. Again. And again. And again.

At 2am on this past Tuesday morning, the Columbus Police broke into the apartment of a 20 year old brother named Donovan Lewis, he was deep asleep in his bedroom - completely unarmed, and of course non-violent. It's clear that he had no idea police were even there.

And within a single second of breaking into his bedroom, they shot and killed him, claiming that he had a gun. He didn't.

I am working with the attorneys in this case and will be supporting the family every way I can.
