Paris said she had not actually seen Glenn holding a firearm at Edward’s house that night, but she knew he regularly carried one. She described him as the kind of person who almost always had a gun with him. She also said she knew he had purchased firearms outside normal channels in the past.
Investigators asked what had happened to the weapon after the murder. Paris said Glenn had sold a gun to someone in the city not long afterward, possibly within days. She remembered text messages in which he asked people whether they wanted to buy it.
That answer was useful but frustrating. The gun detectives believed had been used in Edward’s murder was no longer available to them. They could not simply recover it, test it against the shell casings, and close the forensic loop.
Still, they now had three pieces that worked together: Glenn’s phone data placing his device at Edward’s house, Paris’s account that she drove him there and heard shots after he entered with Edward, and earlier witnesses who said Glenn had assaulted and threatened Edward after his release from prison.
Detectives explained to Paris that if the case went forward, her role would not end with the interview. She would likely have to tell the same story to prosecutors and a grand jury, and later perhaps to a trial jury.
Paris said she could do that as long as she and her children were protected.
Within a week, prosecutors presented the case to a Mahoning County grand jury. Mikuel Glenn was secretly indicted for Edward Lewis’s murder. The following day, officers located Glenn, arrested him, and took him to the Mahoning County Jail.
Detective Anderson was waiting to speak with him.
When Glenn was brought back in after the indictment, Detective Anderson began by asking whether he remembered their earlier conversation.
“I don’t think so,” Glenn initially said.
“I’m Detective Anderson,” the investigator reminded him. “Did they tell you why you’re here?”
Glenn said he had been told something about murder or aggravated murder, but before the detective could get far, he shifted immediately to Paris.
“The girl is lying on me, man,” he said.
“Who?”
“The girl Paris.”
Glenn insisted that Paris had fabricated the accusation because their relationship had deteriorated. Detective Anderson told him that no one was simply inventing a case out of nothing. He said investigators now had substantial evidence and that Glenn had been arrested for Edward Lewis’s murder.
Glenn suddenly acted unsure about Edward’s identity. “Who is that?” he asked.
The detective reminded him that they had already interviewed him about Edward in 2023. During that earlier interview, Glenn had said he knew Edward from a former neighborhood and had described him as a good person.
Glenn adjusted again. He said he remembered Edward only vaguely from when he had lived near an ex-girlfriend. He still maintained that Paris was lying about everything connected to the homicide.
After reading Glenn his rights, the detectives moved toward the evidence they had spent so long obtaining. They began with the most important part: the phone.
“You know what a cell phone is, right?” Detective Anderson asked.
“Yeah.”
“You have a cell phone?”
“Yes. My sister has it.”
The detective asked whether Glenn had possessed his phone throughout Halloween 2023. Glenn hesitated. He believed he probably had, he said, and seemed fairly sure he had been carrying it.
That was the answer investigators wanted. Anderson explained that phones communicate with cellular networks even when a person is not actively making a call. He told Glenn that browsing the internet, using apps, or simply carrying a powered phone can generate location-related network data.
The detective said he had obtained a search warrant for the records connected to Glenn’s phone and had reconstructed the relevant activity.
Glenn demanded to know where the evidence was. He seemed to expect the detective to spread every document across the table. Anderson told him he was not required to show the full case file during an interrogation, but he was willing to show one specific piece.
He placed a map of the west side in front of Glenn.
“This is data from your cell phone,” he said.
The detective explained that the underlying records had come through T-Mobile-related network information. Glenn immediately objected, insisting he had never been a T-Mobile customer and had used Boost instead.
Anderson answered that Boost used T-Mobile infrastructure during the relevant period and returned to the important point: the phone number in the records was Glenn’s number.
Glenn challenged the number. The detective referenced the final digits—captured in the source as ending in something like 6014—and told him to stop trying to turn the conversation into a dispute over the carrier.
Then Anderson pointed to the map.
“You see that little dot right there? You see that line? That is your phone. See that right there? That’s Ed’s house.”
Glenn did not confess. He said the map made no sense and repeated that he had never been at Edward’s house.
The detective told him directly that the data contradicted that claim. “Your phone put you at that house.”
Glenn asked why, if the evidence was real, he had not been arrested much earlier. Anderson answered simply: detectives did not have that information when they first questioned him.
Glenn immediately returned to Paris. He said she was lying. He also revealed that he knew she had recently been speaking with police because she had contacted him around the time of the new interview. That reaction reinforced detectives’ belief that Glenn had been monitoring what Paris was doing and was already concerned about what she might say.
Anderson told him that Paris was not the only person who had provided information. Other people, detectives said, had heard statements connected to Edward’s death. The case was no longer based on one frightened witness.
Glenn continued asking how he could be arrested for murder based on what he described as word of mouth. The detective told him a Mahoning County grand jury had indicted him the previous day after prosecutors presented the evidence.
