Description
Content Warning: This video shows a man being shot and could be difficult for some people to watch.
Family members of a man fatally shot by an Aurora officer late last month called for justice on Thursday, saying he was unarmed and only holding a cellphone when one officer fired a single shot, hitting him in the stomach.
The 37-year-old was fatally shot shortly before noon May 23 in the area near East Alameda Avenue and South Havana Street, as Aurora Police SWAT and the Denver Police Department's fugitive unit were attempting to take him into custody in connection with an attempted homicide, according to Aurora Police.
Lewis' family and their attorneys questioned the transparency and accused the department of using the short edited video clips and statement to create their own narrative about what happened.
