Residents protest killing of unarmed teen in Edmond

EDMOND — People angered by the shooting of an unarmed black teen by Edmond police marched through the city Friday evening.

Dozens gathered outside Boulevard Academy and walked the damp streets toward the Edmond Police Department headquarters, some held signs soggy from the rain, others simply shouted Isaiah Lewis’ name.

On Monday, Lewis, 17, was shot to death after police said he broke into a home and assaulted officers who had followed him inside. Police have said one of the officers fired a Taser at Lewis, who was reportedly naked and unarmed, but it had no effect.

Multiple shots were fired at Lewis, who was struck and died after being taken to OU Medical Center.
