Group offers $5K reward in Ohio twin killing

COLUMBUS -- An anti-crime group is offering a $5,000 reward in the killing of an Ohio teen whose twin brother was cleared of the crime after being held more than a year.

 

Central Ohio Crime Stoppers says the reward posted Sunday is for information received by Nov. 18 that leads to an arrest or indictment in the shooting of Dennis Lewis.   

He was 17 when he was killed during a January 2008 robbery at his mother's home in Columbus.   

Identical twin Derris Lewis had been charged with aggravated murder in the case.

But prosecutors dropped the charge in August after a test failed to find Derris Lewis' blood on a palm print that had been a main piece of evidence at his mistrial.
