At Tuesday’s Lafayette City-Parish Council meeting, Chairman Kenneth Boudreaux urged people to not get up in arms as the investigation into the shooting of a 22-year-old at the hands of a Lafayette Police Department officer continued.

Boudreaux set a deadline, asking police to release a report in the next 30 days on the officer-involved shooting of Tevin Lewis. Lewis fled from police Saturday morning and was shot once in the back after police say the pursuing officer noticed a gun tied to Lewis’ hand.

“If this is not resolved in 30 days, I’m asking for a complete report so the community can know what’s going on,” Boudreaux said. “We’re trying to instill some trust in this process. I’m asking my community to re-evaluate how we review these situations. We need to give those in the field the opportunity to do their jobs.”

“I just want make sure this doesn’t spill over into anything greater,” Boudreaux said. “We see what’s happening nationally, and we don’t want to see that in Lafayette.”

Lafayette Police Public Information Officer Cpl. Paul Mouton said Wednesday Police Chief Jim Craft, who is currently out due to personal issues, is working with his officers to expedite the investigative process to meet that deadline.

Louisiana State Police is shadowing LPD’s investigation into the shooting, and has full access to everything the department does in relation to the investigation, Mouton said. Craft also has been in contact with the FBI.

Mouton said Lewis was in stable condition, but still in ICU at a local hospital. For the safety of the officers guarding him as well as hospital staff,  visitors have been barred and the specific hospital has not been disclosed to the public.

There are no immediate plans to release the footage attained from a surveillance system at the Souiller Street residence of Sheila Carter, Mouton said, as the footage could skew witnesses’ testimonies. Once the investigation is complete, however, the video could possibly released.

Carter said Tuesday after viewing the footage with an investigating officer, she hasn’t slept.

At a news conference Tuesday night, community activists called for police to reveal the identity of the police officer. Mouton said there are no plans to do that.

Saturday morning, Lafayette Police arrived at a house on Sonny Street to serve an OWI warrant for Robert Stewart. When police arrived, Mouton said they saw a group of people standing a couple blocks away from the targeted home.

Lewis, one of the people in the group, bolted upon seeing them. Officers chased him behind several houses to Soullier Street, and after clearing a fence, one opened fire on Lewis, shooting him once in the back.

In 2009, Lewis was arrested for simple burglary, a felony offense, in which he pleaded guilty. He is currently in custody in a local hospital for carrying a concealed weapon, resisting an officer and felony possession of a firearm.

Police arrested Stewart on the outstanding warrant.
