Former D.C. Parks and Recreation worker convicted of manslaughter in fatal shooting of unarmed 13-year-old
The worker had asserted he shot the youngster, whom he saw outside his Brookland home in the early morning hours, because he feared for his life. He was found not guilty of a more serious charge, second-degree murder. The shooting had sparked outrage in D.C. and drew comparisons to other killings of unarmed Black youths.
Lewis argued that he acted in self-defense, believing to have heard a gunshot; prosecutors countered that the evidence did not support that.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
