The 20-year-old Brooklyn man who raped and strangled Karina Vetrano once said he wanted to stab every girl at his high school.
Lewis was arrested on Saturday and charged with murdering Vetrano, 30, as she jogged in a park near Howard Beach, NY on Aug. 2.
Chanel Lewis was only 15 years old when he revealed his murderous fantasies to a teacher’s aide at Martin De Porres High School, an alternative school for emotionally troubled youngsters.
“What happens if I bring a knife to school?” he reportedly told the teacher on May 17, 2011.
The school notified the police, who did not arrest Lewis, but documented him as an “emotionally disturbed person,” sources told the NY Post.
A school official said Lewis had no disciplinary record or made specific threats against any students.
Lewis lived with his single mother, his 2 sisters and their girl children. He was surrounded by women with no male figure to balance out the Estrogen-dominated household.
His father, Richard Lewis, a 70-year-old retired school principal, apparently didn’t spend quality time with his son.
Lewis’ half-sister, Theresa Forbes, 36, insists he didn’t hate women. “He has nieces, and he played with them,” Forbes told reporters.
Lewis told police he was in a bad mood as he walked from his Brooklyn home to get something to eat in nearby Howard Beach.
He said he saw Vetrano running on a trail inside Spring Creek Park, and he snapped.
He punched her and dragged her off the path into tall weeds where he attacked her. Vetrano fought for her life, losing a tooth in the struggle.
Police say Vetrano may have bitten her attacker. Several of her teeth were cracked.
Investigators linked Lewis to DNA found under Vetrano’s fingernails after he submitted a DNA sample on Feb. 2.
A judge ordered Lewis held without bail Sunday night at his arraignment hearing.
20 members of Vetrano’s family crowded into the courtroom for the hearing.
NO MENTION OF THE GIRL’S PAPPY THIS GO ROUND…

They don’t hear u tho
POLICE told LEWIS he was in a bad mood as he walked from his Brooklyn home to get something to eat in nearby Howard Beach.
POLICE said They saw Vetrano running on a trail inside Spring Creek Park, and TOLD LEWIS he snapped.
SAY YOU punched her and dragged her off the path into tall weeds where U
attacked her.
Why was the hearing on a Sunday?
No trial he confessed…
Don’t we all know where this is going? They have a ‘confession’ from him. Troubled at risk youth being framed
This means he has SEVERE MENTAL ISSUES if it is true.
Just because he confessed doesn’t mean a trial won’t take place, it means the prosecution will use that against him during the trial.
I don’t know how they get these confessions so fast? I know one is to do your time at a “easy” prison we do have hard ones and cake ones to pull time in.
He’s special hun
*ANDDDD this story is dead tew…
*bams desk*
OH
Too soon?
I mean we can read about it elsewhere going forward??
#justlookingforfacts
Why are you trying this case here in the Garden? I mean dammm
??
On drugs heavy..Smh They’re cracking down of those prescription drugs, so heroin is now big AGAIN in their Community.
Preach!
Which is exactly the point people were trying to make when she first posted.
So chica has a knifed up body to go along with that knifed up face.
BTW, Sandra was the victim your play-cousin or something because this is what the third or fourth post on this case?
Do you have a girl crush on the victim or did have an extra long weekend licking kitty and you’re being lazy today?
He doesn’t get to have mental health issues, his skin is brown.
Black perpetrator. White, female victim. Propaganda. This is why all lives matter! We need to make America great again! Send the troops into Chicago! Ban the muslims! Build the wall! Make Tom Brady’s birthday a national holiday! Yaaaaa USA! USA!!!
OH EYE SEA thee crazies have touched down ?
???
the original sketch was a guy white guy with a full beard in a skull cap.
Then they said they had “partial DNA.”
The dad (who “found” the body) complained and now they have matching everything with a confession.
Does this boy even have good sense? He looks special.
I just wanna brush his hair. ??
I hope we don’t get left here until tomorrow.
U seen Scandal lately?
They send a “Jake” in the confession room to make them confess….
Just like they did the Central Park 5.
I thought that was nice

Coconut oil pulling works wonders!
It was alright
Sandra please educate your readers and tell to call their folks about Dump, dumping Dodd-Frank because his ultra rich FRIENDS can’t get a loan which is a lie. This will allow the banks to play with our money, lose it and they get paid while the little guy money is gone. Imma get my retirement out and put it under the mattress. Sound the alarm.
Send the troops to New Orleans their crime is worst. Stop picking on Chicago because Obama used to live there.
I feel the same every time I see Kevin Durant? I just wanna brush his hair??andsuckhispeen?
Then why you are working he is having sex with the neighbor in your bed.
THISSSSSSSSSS.
I’m so sick of people who havent even has so much as a layover talk about what’s going on in Chicago. its annoying af.
Dead at the last part ?
I want to take him to the Dermatologist office, he has a terrible skin condition on his scalp.
Nestle Crunch type of paranormal activities going on back there. ?
This dude reminds me of Beavis and Butthead in this pic.
I’d still rub it as his face lay buried in my muffin??
Accuracy of point!
Hot cooter!
My nickname in highchool? That and Hoover throat?
Finally saw The Quad. I’m going to stick with it. Love Anika Noni Rose. Some of the stuff was a bit predictable, but overall I liked it.
Like she NOSE WATT ah Dodd frank is ??
I liked it too!
He hates women?! Too bad he didn’t time-travel and kill his mother before she reproduced.
I loved it. It brought back so many memories. I used to work next door to the President’s Office. I saw a lot of shyt.
I’m so happy that HBCU’s are getting all this exposure.
Honest to God when I first read the story and who he lived with I thought he lives with a whole bunch of women. I thought a young man like him has to have some sexual tension and if he is disturbed then his environment is hindering not helping. Then I saw his pic, I’m like yea dude ain’t getting no @$$…..but he’s been smiling in all these pics when he was questioned and arrested. Those women in the home would not be safe for too long. He is a demon and he does not belong in society. Any help he needed was obviously neglected by his family. He got lost in a world of women.
Don’t wanna brush it… Wanna get a small tooth comb to his ass and say… WTF man!…..
?????
?????
Maybe not… And that’s what scares me. The mentally ill can harm too. Let’s not forget that. Everyone is saying this kid has mental issues… Does that exonerate him?
He….heeeeee..he
When she check that bank statement and she see she has lost money she hasn’t taken out or go to the bank she has been dealing with for years and see a closed sign on the door she will get very familiar with Dodd-Frank.
Yoooooo????
No post about the white male child rapist who has a “shrine” of 1,000 pairs of soiled girls’ underwear and a myriad of mugshots?
Anika puts her foot in this role! I’m sticking with it also.
She’s also a cool chick in person..
New post, pulled straight off of TMZ.
Shame on him.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4a9798e39eb483b02ad20ad3840610893b37e9acfc5435af852f4e62bca6c92e.jpg
No, it doesn’t, but it suggests that he should’ve had proper representation when being interrogated. It means that the manner in which he was handled by investigators may cost the victim’s parents their case. If he is of diminished mental capacity, how does he understand Miranda rights? How can a likely coerced confession be used against him to try him for a murder he may not have committed?
His DNA under her fingernails may be him having run and pounced on her because he recognized her or he thought she was pretty. It doesn’t make him responsible for her death. If the investigators told him she is dead and he is of diminished mental capacity, he may be of the belief he killed her, even though he may not have.
Folks need to function from a state of logic and propriety as it pertains to the judicial process, not from a state of emotion. That’s the main reason it’s hard to properly effectuate justice today, especially when it pertains to jury trials.
They have the potential to, but they are actually less likely to. Let’s not forget that either.
And no, it doesn’t “exonerate” him, but we know the history of police, race and media on big cases like this. We should all keep a skeptical eye on things.
I read it as stop-frisk data helps cops nab “black” man after 6-month search. #Cerebral
Subconscious programming at is finest, smh……
Too much like right in TRUMP’S AMERICA
Wth? Folks are beyond sick
I just need 30 seconds with him, and that’s only because it will take about 20 seconds to wash my hands after I’m done with him.
And on a pro-Trump blog. I can’t blame Trump for this derelict’s actions because he has been getting arrested and released now for ages. You can see how he has aged progressively over the course of time, courtesy of each mugshot.
I’m trying to figure out who thought it was a good idea to continue to release him from jail?!.
He had written a note on the drywall and they found a homemade child sex doll in 2010 in his old home. He should have been arrested then WTF.
But…white. And the new trolls in the comments are in denial about the existence of white privilege.
I almost threw up reading it. I can’t believe he has a pending 150,000 bond.
I know for a fact that the people in that trailer park knew what time it was. They knew what he was doing.
Lewis lived with his single mother, his 2 sisters and their girl children. He was surrounded by women with no male figure to balance out the Estrogen-dominated household.
His father, Richard Lewis, a 70-year-old retired school principal, apparently didn’t spend quality time with his son
Shutt up Sandra !!
I saw it on Twitter. I had just finished eating and found it nearly impossible to keep my food down, so I understand completely. It’s unreal.
Some of them may have been selling him their daughters’ underwear or even their daughters. Smh
I believe it in my heart. It took some new people to move in a trailer he renovated to call the police. No one else did. Very messed up Smh
Thank GOD for those people!
I’m just stating facts.
I actually think Obama did people a disservice by allowing Dodd-Frank. A lot of people couldn’t get home loans because of Obama.
This is a very big story in NY.
Damn I was hoping the dude wasn’t black. Meaning there’s a 100% probability of him getting sentenced to death, if found guilty. This dude looks mentally disturbed too.
Me too
If SR had a son.
Wait what?! I missed that, what case is this??!
Something about this is not adding up .. I don’t believe this kid killed anybody , without a gun .. They need a skape goat .. Last week the said they didn’t have a DNA match … Nothing found in the system .. This week they have a suspect..
That would kill him dead ??
I do not believe that Mr. Lewis murdered Ms. Vetrano.
Calls have been coming in to that police department regarding a stocky, white male who has been following and harassing women in the area.
When one woman called to report being followed, with video to back it up, she was asked if the man in question was black or white. When she responded that the man was white, she was told that the department was not looking for a white man and that was the end of the conversation.
Did you read the other article? He confessed…
They went back to 2011 to find a comment he allegedly made? But if it was documented that he was disturbed then maybe they need to look into if he is competent enough to stand trial sane ppl don’t kill ppl because they had a bad day. If they gone say that Roof boy who killed them church folks who prayed with him had issues when he plotted and planned then this guy sure has issues to do something impulsive like this. Period!!! Now all his family members need to come forward and say how crazy he been his entire life but they didn’t have the resources to get him help
But you live in Atlanta, and we really don’t care about some random blonde white chick.
You’re not Nancy Grace (less).
Ha,ha,ha!!
Here is the article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/1-000-pairs-soiled-girls-225215524.html
Really ?.. hmmm I wonder if this man can be innocent
Does NY State have a death penalty? I thought they had abolished it a while back.
Notice how they cleverly stated the stop amd frisk data helped in this case??. Meanwhile they became hip to him because someone called and stated he was acting weird. Smh
Kill tha bitch
It is not a bad thing to require banks to take their fiduciary duty seriously and make decisions that are in their customers best interest. That should be an obvious requirement when taking custody of people’s money. Banks used Dodd frank as an excuse to not lend money like a kind of bankers protest against the government for passing the regulation.
Read all the comments and was disgusting why is it primarily African american women riding hard like mammy to the rescue during instances like this?! The knee jerk and rabid defense of a probable murderer. Saying this punk is framed, etc.
AA women are the least protected period. MOST of yall here aren’t married never were married and never were protected by men period but still …mammy to the rescue.
Bring your tired memes tag your silly friends I don’t give a f. Block me, no feels given.
Somebody’s gotta say it: ONE SIDED LOYALTY IS FOR SUCKAS and AA women are some of the biggest mammying unprotected suckas on earth.
He does not look American ?
I may not agree to your choice of words but I do agree that it is unfortunate that women of any race would defend an alleged rapist and murderer.
There are real and legitimate dangers and vulnerabilities that women face and there are men who harm women for no other reason than a desire to harm women.
This investigation didn’t target and profile black men. There were no random traffic stops, false arrests, harassment. The months long investigation followed a direct link of DNA from the victim to the rapist-killer.
Yes, mob hits do happen. Yes, everyone knows black men have been falsely convicted of crimes. But I believed from the start that this was a simple case of a woman raped and killed because she was vulnerable in jogging alone without male accompaniment.
It’s not racist nor racially disloyal for black women to stand with the victim Miss Vetrano and want the suspect brought to justice for her tragic death.
Exactly, something in his eyes that looks mentally ill
He’s 20…she was 30. They would of never met in school.
Blacks don’t walk in Howard Beach… This is very VERY suspiscious ?
You are right Pamela they did abolish the death penalty on NY.
You are right Pamela they did abolish the death penalty on NY.
His mother sounds foreign. Wow, how they paraded him in front of the media SMDHH!!!
He could have been in the second grade and she could have been a senior. *smile*
I think the problem is that people are murdered every single day in NYC so why is this case getting so much attention.
I love walks on the beach or any outdoor exercise. It’s sad that you could lose your life by innocently exercising. The DNA has spoken. He’s a monster & I hope he dies in prison. For all of you in the comments making it about race, I bet you supported the Womens Rights marches about 2 weeks ago…hypocrites, all of you. She’s a woman & did not deserve to be raped and killed. Period.
Maybe I’m wasting my time but re-read the article. They did not attend high school together. He started sharing sick murderous fantasies in high school. Fast foward 5 years and he raped & murdered this innocent woman.
His DNA was found under her finger nails. He confessed. He raped and killed an innocent woman. Race has nothing to do with it. That could’ve been you or me. He’s evil and sick. The end.
No he doesn’t, and his name? Chanel? That’s an indicator as well. He looks so damn pitiful. I bet he has had no women whatsoever and the rejection was just killing his sick ass.
Don’t let me on that jury. Not guilty.
Clearly this boy has been dissed by girls all his life. Still a virgin and took what he wanted and it’s sad because I’m sure there’s other men/boys out there feeling like this, and we never know when they’ll pop off.
Rejection in high school or in life period can turn people loco. Male and Female.
I’m not reading the article but after following this on the news something is NOT right. This boy went to a special needs scool and does not have any criminal record. The town is 1% black where he lives and out of the blue after searching for 6 mos they find him at home 3 miles from where she was killed and he gave DNA willingly (a guilty person would not do this). I think they are just trying to close a case and pin it on anybody in this case a black child with special needs .
Something about this is not setting right with me….. It doesn’t feel right… Maim or Frame policy just may be effect…
…why does Sandra reporting about this case?
Is this someone she knew?
By all means that family DESERVES JUSTICE! Just because “the DNA has spoken” does not make it true. Central park 5??? There are many loop holes in this story which makes it look sketchy and covered up. There are plenty of cases like this. Now if he really did do it, FRY his ass but lets not act like this is not a VERY common “mishap” when it comes to the justice system.

Dylan Roof Didn’t Have A Criminal Record. Elliot Rodgers Didn’t Have A Criminal Record. Most Of All School Shooters Didn’t Have Criminal Records. If This Man Was White Would You Feel The Same Way? Everything Doesn’t Need Conspiracy Theories.
Martin de porres is a school for children with mental health challenges n those kids usually have low iqs. He mostly did not know the consequences of submitting dna.
Yeah, but he had hate speech, video and pictures declaring his hate. He also told a friend he was gonna do it. This story doesn’t sound right and the sketch of the perp looks nothing like that boy. Not to mention the news tried to link this to the jogger that was also assualted in NYC just a week before (they were that similar) and this is before a suspect was in custody. I think this boy is a scapegoat, he’s mentaly slow and he’s black. He meets the requirements to be set up and locked up.
Howard beach is so racist!
Thank u!
When the news said the town is 1% black I already knew it.
“When she responded that the man was white, she was told that the department was not looking for a white man”
—————–
I guess you don’t watch the ID Channel? Forensics 101: police can determine the race of the DNA donor with a nearly 100% accuracy. That’s why they weren’t looking for a white man.
He clearly looks like if you ask him if he did anything he will say yes, DNA on her fingernails she was also raped lets c if that matches as welll..i think its a skape goat as well..any black guy in howard beach will be watched hard! Everyone from new york knows howard beach is racist
Yup so trust me they would have noticed him & questioned him along time ago on that murder
Agree
Amen. That is a FACT
Never heard neither of his parents speak. The only articles I read were mostly about the woman and her family.
Probably. Smh
They questioned him without a lawyer he obvious he not that bright in the head. Let’s see if the confession of someone who required special ed in school gonna hold up.
my only problem with u is a lot of men raised by single mother turned out to be great why being so negative ? I was raise with my dad and trust me i could have turn worst
same here… my third eye is saying the same thing,.. they needed to arrest someone ..
whats wrong malcom flex? you seem angry…
exactly… be weary of the ways of the world ( solange) look at the bigger picture… I wouldn’t be surprised if Cheetos in chief speaks about this…next law …return of stop and frisk…
its a high profile case here in NY if you live somewhere else it may not have been on your local news
Everybody here in nY knows Howard beach is racist as shit there’s hardly any black ppl there. Imma be watching this closely
She was on television yesterday and said her son didn’t kill anybody in a very thick accent.
What type of accent? Spanish? West Indian? British? French?
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Three posts about him already. Damn.
The slums of East NY isn’t to far away from there
OK, my first thought reading that part was I hope he didn’t touch them little girls
“He was surrounded by women with no male figure to balance out the Estrogen-dominated household”
Wait, Other sources are saying,
“The younger Lewis lived with his dad at the time of the murder, in an apartment not far from where Vetrano’s body was found.”
East NY isn’t to far from there
Ohh didn’t see it. Thanks for the reply.
Hmmm….Don’t folks get murdered and raped daily in your city? Does every case make national news? Why is she differernt?
Hmmm….OH! It’s high profile because she’s white and was considered pretty….and now it’s been revealed her attacker is woman hating “brute” black man. That makes it front page news and everyone is supposed to feel badly because she’s WHITE. Real talk.
I don’t have the answers sway lol … all I know is its a high profile case and that is why aunty is posting it … that was your question and I answered it … I don’t know anything about the conspiracy lol
you are so right my son Zuriyah Benyehudah was murdered on June 30th by a skin head Kurt Heusel they have yet to post his picture anywhere and she was right by us. Can someone help me get this man photo out I’m doing a scholarship in my son honor this year this is all new to me someone please help a mother. Get that monster face out
Seems to me they needed someone to blame so what do they do? Go to the hood and pick one. #sad
thats right Neia. I just dont believe it. When they showed him on the news he looked as if he didnt know what was going on. The parents of the jogger was giving the police hell so they had to pin it on someone.
Howard Beach is beyond racist. It is more racist than most racist small rural towns in the south. It is inhabited by Italian Americans who aren’t even mainstream white Americans. What the victim’s parents are saying in public are mild in comparison to what they are calling the suspect among themselves in the neighborhood.
Michael Griffith was murdered by a racist Italian American mob years ago in Howard Beach.
It is understood that the level of ignorance and violent racist tendencies of Howard Beach residents is exceptional.
The DNA links the suspect directly to the victim. But that does not condone nor excuse the historic and violent racism in Howard Beach.
I really do not believe this accusation at all it seems like they jis needed somebody to pin this on and u can see that he is kinda slow
Yes! Since i was a child we knew to stay away from that side! They will run you out & have ties to so much police enforcement…sad story here smh
It’s not a quick walk away. And people know their lane
Mentally ill people know no boundaries.
I frequent that area for work and although it is a majority White, I do see Black People but I did not know that area was racist
Yep. Very racist. Does the Black people live there? Are they still alive?
Lol of course they are still alive
They say that rape is about power not attraction. I think that is true. However, I do think in some instances rape is about a sociopathic, socially awkward, and sexually frustrated rapist’s attraction to a beautiful unobtainable victim.
With that said, a beautiful petite young black woman vulnerable because jogging unaccompanied would have met the same tragic fate jogging past Chanel Lewis that Ms. Vetrano met. Chanel Lewis could’ve been a white sociopathic, socially awkward, sexually frustrated rapist and murderer.
I do think very pretty young women need to have a heightened sense of self awareness and self protectiveness that would caution them from vulnerable activities. I’m not victim blaming, I pray for justice in the case, yet I’m a bit shocked she went jogging alone in a rural isolated location.
Bullshyt on this whole story. This boy didn’t kill that girl.
1.The pigs here in were being pressured by the girl’s family to nab someone for the murder of their daughter, who they told NOT to jog around that area.
2.That girl could’ve easily defended herself against a skinny guy like him. Matter of fact, I believe the same person who committed this crime, killed Vanessa Marcotte who was from NY, visiting her mother in Massachusetts.
3. This boy wasn’t anywhere near “Howard Beach” queens, he probably DID however walk around the Canarsie pier which is located in brooklyn, Which connects long island/queens/Manhattan waters together.
4. There was never any surveillance, or eyewitnesses stating they saw this boy at anytime. They would’ve chased him out had they did see him, or worse being that Howard Beach is a very racist ass community filled with Eyetalians.
5. They are making this case out to be like the “Central Park Five” this boy being a diagnosed with austim couldn’t have committed this crime, they (pigs) coerced him into saying that he did, so that the family can stop breathing down their sorry ass necks.
6. I hope & pray the REAL culpit confesses cause it isn’t this boy, plain & simple!
Exactly. He suffers from autism!
He’s a jamerican. An American born to Jamaican parents.
Ditto!
Exactly. People forget about all the racist sh*t that happened in Howard Beach in the past 20 years like when a black man was beating to death by a bread delivery driver just for walking into the town. Another black man died at a diner just for ordering food. That guy would’ve been killed on-site if walking through that down and now I bet it’s been magnified due to this story.
And on top of it all, When I heard that she died. I was thinking who in the world was crazy enough to go into that town and rape someone.
I’m surprise 1% of black people actually live there. I think the census is a lie. People not from NY don’t really understand the history of Howard Beach that I don’t even like to speak on the internet about.
I guess you never watched “Making a Murderer”
I’m not familar with the town, but you are not the first to comment on the history. I just saw that the news reported 1% so the cencus maybe off.
