Family demands justice after police shooting tragedy
In a recent government meeting, family members of Kylan Lewis, who was fatally shot by an Aurora police officer, expressed their grief and frustration over the lack of accountability and transparency surrounding the incident. The emotional testimonies highlighted the profound impact of Lewis's death on his family and the community, with relatives pleading for justice and demanding the release of unedited footage of the incident, which they argue should have been made public within 30 days.

Kylie Lewis, Kylan's aunt, spoke passionately about the pain her family has endured over the past 81 days, emphasizing the emotional toll of losing a loved one and the fear it has instilled in children regarding law enforcement. She criticized the police officer involved for not allowing Kylan to identify himself before the shooting, stating, \"This officer didn't have a right to take his life.\" The anguish was palpable as she recounted the family's desperate attempts to support Kylan during his hospitalization, ultimately leading to his death.

Magdalena Lewis, another family member, condemned the police department's history of violence, referencing previous incidents, including the murder of Elijah McClain, and questioned the effectiveness of the current consent decree aimed at reforming police practices. She demanded action from city officials, stating, \"There's blood on your hands,\" and criticized the recent eviction of families by the police, calling it unconscionable.

Kylan's wife, Andreesse Lewis, expressed her heartbreak and frustration, highlighting the disconnect between the officials and the families affected by police violence. She vowed to continue fighting for justice, stating, \"I will not stop for Kylan, and I'm coming for y'all.\"

The meeting underscored a growing demand for accountability from the Aurora Police Department and a call for systemic change to restore trust within the community. As the family continues to seek justice for Kylan Lewis, their voices reflect a broader concern about police conduct and the need for reform in law enforcement practices.
