New bodycam footage has been released that shows a Columbus police officer shooting 20-year-old Donovan Lewis at an apartment complex in the 3200 block of Sullivant Avenue.
Chief of Police Elaine Bryant said officers knocked on the apartment door for about 10 minutes before anyone answered. Officers took two men into custody and officers called in a K9 unit to assist in the search of the apartment.
Bryant said the K9 led officers to a bedroom in the back of the apartment.
Body camera footage shows the officer handling the K9 open the door and firing once. The shot hit a man, identified as Lewis, sitting on the bed.
Lewis was taken to Grant Medical Center where he was pronounced dead less than an hour after the shooting, police said.
Bryant said Lewis was wanted on a felony warrant for domestic violence and assault and improperly handling a firearm.
