A police officer in Ohio fatally shot a Black man within a second of opening his bedroom door early on Tuesday morning as the officer was attempting to serve him an arrest warrant.
The killing was captured on police body camera. The man was not armed and was identified by authorities as 20-year-old Donovan Lewis, who was killed by Ricky Anderson, a Columbus police officer with decades of experience.

According to court records reviewed by TV channel NBC4, Donovan was being served an arrest warrant on charges of improperly handling a firearm, assault and domestic violence.
In the body-cam footage aired by NBC4, police officers were shown knocking on an apartment door for 8-10 minutes before being met by a man who opened the door. Upon entering the apartment, officers found another man and detained them both.
The officers then released a police dog which trotted around into the kitchen then barked at a bedroom door. Anderson held the dog back before opening the door and then immediately fired his gun into the bedroom as Lewis sat up in bed.
