In a poignant and heart-wrenching address, Robert Lewis, a grieving father from Aurora, shared his profound anguish over the loss of his son, Kylan, who was killed 144 days ago. Speaking at a recent government meeting, Lewis recounted the unbearable pain of burying his son, emphasizing that Kylan was not just a statistic but a man with dreams and a loving family.

Lewis expressed his frustration and sorrow over the systemic failures that he believes contributed to his son's death. He criticized the lack of communication from authorities, particularly the district attorney, John Kellner, who he claims made a decision regarding the case without notifying the family. This silence, he argued, reflects a broader issue of disregard for Black lives and the pain of their families.

The father’s emotional testimony highlighted the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability in cases of police violence against Black individuals. He lamented that the officer involved in Kylan's death would not face charges and would return to duty, a decision that Lewis feels devalues the life of his son and the suffering of his family.

Lewis's call for justice resonated deeply, as he articulated the collective grief felt by many Black fathers who have experienced similar tragedies. His words serve as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for systemic change and accountability within law enforcement and the justice system.
