-------------------------------------------------------------

Police in Columbus, Ohio, have shot dead an unarmed 20-year-old Black
man named Donovan Lewis as he lay on a bed. The shooting occurred just
before 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday inside an apartment where police were
serving a warrant. Bodycam footage shows an officer shot Lewis just one
second after opening a door to the bedroom. Officers then handcuffed
Lewis, who died less than an hour later at a hospital. It was the third
