The man who shot the teen says he saw him breaking into cars in his neighborhood, according to police.Jason Lewis, the man accused of shooting 13-year-old Karon Blake outside his home earlier this month, has been charged with second-degree murder while armed, according to Washington, D.C., police.
The family of Blake has been calling for criminal charges in the case, including at a public forum attended by a police representative. Authorities have only said the investigation was ongoing and police were working with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in the days following the shooting that Lewis was a D. C. government employee, but did not specify what department.
"It's a horrible situation," Bowser said on Jan. 11. "And we had a 13-year-old that died and we don't have all the facts and the people who are responsible for gathering the facts make charging decisions are doing it just as fast as possible. And so that is a very uncomfortable place we're at but it is also the necessary place to get to just decisions."Lewis' gun was registered, according to police.
