COLUMBUS, Ohio — Following the disciplinary actions and murder charges brought against several officers involved in the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee, Rebecca Duran, the mother of Donovan Lewis, renewed her call Tuesday for the Columbus, Ohio, police officer who fatally shot her son last year to be terminated and charged.

"If it can be done in a swift manner anywhere, it can be done swiftly here," Duran said at a press conference."Yesterday was five months since the murder of my son, and for the most part there hasn't been any action when it comes to the reprimanding or termination of Ricky Anderson."

When police arrived, they identified themselves and stood outside the apartment for approximately eight minutes asking those inside to exit, body camera footage shows. Two people eventually exit the apartment and police enter with a K-9, finding Lewis in bed, the video shows. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant previously said Lewis appeared to be holding something in his hand, but only a vape pen was found on his bed and that there was no sighting of a weapon.Several months after Lewis' death, Duran said"there's no accountability whatsoever.

"Once the criminal process is completed, the Office of the Inspector General may conduct an administrative investigation if a complaint is filed or if the Civilian Police Review Board initiates a complaint in order to determine if the officer's actions were within policy," he continued."The IG's findings go to the Civilian Review Board for review and recommendation of discipline and/or policy changes.
