TL;DR Summary

Former K-9 officer Ricky Anderson has been indicted on murder charges in Ohio for the shooting death of 20-year-old Donovan Lewis, a Black man who was lying on his bed when police attempted to serve a warrant. Anderson, who had a history of excessive force complaints, was also charged with reckless homicide. The shooting, captured on bodycam footage, occurred within seconds of Anderson opening the bedroom door. The family's attorney criticized the delay in bringing charges and questioned why the broader issue of white officers killing Black civilians had not been addressed. Anderson's defense lawyer claims the grand jury did not have the full picture of the facts. The family has a pending lawsuit against Anderson and others in the police department.
