Kaleek Lewis Convicted in Fatal Shooting | Cedar Rapids News

Kaleek Lewis just got convicted on seven charges—including first-degree murder and attempted murder—after a jury deliberated for just over three hours. The deadly confrontation in September 2025 left Dedric Arnold dead and Morris Gray wounded; both were unarmed when they went to Lewis’s home seeking their wallets. Lewis claimed self-defense, but prosecutors prevailed. With an automatic life sentence in Iowa (no parole), Lewis faces sentencing on October 16th at 2 p.m.—a stark reminder of how quickly disputes can spiral into irreversible tragedy.
