Aurora police announced Friday that officer Michael Dieck did not violate department policy in May when he shot and killed Kilyn Lewis, who was unarmed and holding a cellphone. Dieck was cleared by a panel that included Aurora police officers and the IntegrAssure, the company hired to monitor Aurora’s compliance with mandated public safety reforms, which raised concerns last month about Dieck’s presence on the SWAT team and the team’s involvement in executing a Denver arrest warrant for the Black father of two. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office previously declined to file criminal charges against Dieck in connection with the shooting. Police Chief Todd Chamberlain, who also participates on the department’s Force Review Board, said in a news release Friday that the department is continuing to review the functions of its SWAT team.
