That was the legal reality Glenn could not argue away. He was not in the interview room merely because detectives wanted to ask more questions. He had been formally charged.
Anderson gave him one more opportunity to explain why the evidence existed. Glenn denied killing Edward. He said he did not know who had done it and that Paris was falsely blaming him.
The detective then returned to motive. Glenn had come home from prison and learned that Edward was spending substantial time with Paris and her children. Edward had supported them financially, helped with transportation, helped with housing, and had become a trusted presence in the family.
Glenn rejected the idea that jealousy mattered. He said he had never been the jealous type and did not care if Paris had male friends.
Anderson pushed back. According to witnesses, the relationship had already produced conflict before the murder. Stacy said Edward had reported being punched, robbed, and threatened by the man associated with Paris. Investigators also had evidence that Glenn had denied using Paris’s car even though Paris said he had been using it.
Glenn kept insisting that he had no problem with Edward. He acknowledged knowing Edward from years earlier but said the relationship ended there when Glenn went to prison. The detective told him that the evidence now showed the story was not that simple.
Anderson warned Glenn how the case would look to a jury. Edward was remembered as a kind man who repeatedly helped people around him, particularly Paris and her children. A jury, he said, would hear that Edward had opened his home to someone he knew and was then shot without any sign of a fight.
The detective told Glenn that if there had been an argument, an accident, or some other circumstance that changed the meaning of what happened, this was the time to say so. Continuing to deny ever entering the house, he warned, would leave prosecutors with only the version supported by the phone data and Paris’s account.
Glenn refused. “I never been to his house before, sir,” he repeated.
For several more minutes, the exchange went in circles. Glenn denied being there. Anderson said the phone records placed him there. Glenn blamed Paris.
Anderson reminded him that multiple witnesses and digital records were involved. Glenn challenged the evidence. The detective said the evidence would be presented in court.
Then came one of the strangest moments of the interview.
As the conversation turned toward the shell casings and the missing gun, Glenn suddenly said, “I know where the gun is.”
The detective immediately asked, “So where’s the gun?”
Glenn did not provide an answer that resolved the issue. Instead, he continued insisting that knowing about a gun did not mean he had killed Edward. The statement gave detectives another contradiction to document, but it did not produce the weapon.
Anderson ended the interrogation. Glenn would be taken to jail and the case would proceed without a confession.
The prosecution still depended heavily on Paris Jones. Her 2025 statement supplied the eyewitness context the phone records could not provide: she said she had been outside Edward’s house, saw Glenn ask to use the bathroom, heard multiple shots after the men went inside, and saw Glenn return to the vehicle immediately afterward. She also described his behavior as they left and said another person later told her Glenn had admitted killing Edward.
But Paris was not an easy witness to keep.
After the indictment, she disappeared for roughly nine months. Her absence created a major problem for prosecutors. The state could present cell-site data, witness testimony about previous threats, and circumstantial evidence, but Paris was the person who said she had actually brought Glenn to Edward’s house and heard the shots. Without her, the case risked losing its clearest narrative connection between the digital evidence and the murder itself.
Prosecutors came close to losing the ability to proceed as planned.
Then, on November 17, 2025—the day Glenn had originally been scheduled to go to trial—Paris resurfaced. A judge ordered her held as a material witness so that her testimony would be available to the court.
At trial, Paris told jurors that Glenn killed Edward. She explained that she had stayed silent because she was afraid of what Glenn might do to her and her children if she cooperated. Her testimony echoed the statement she had finally given detectives in March 2025.
She described Halloween night, Edward waiting at the house, Glenn asking to use the bathroom, and the sounds she heard after he entered. She described Glenn returning to the car and the fear that followed. She also explained why she had lied or withheld information during the earliest interviews.
The prosecution paired that testimony with the cell-site evidence showing activity associated with Glenn’s phone in the area of Edward’s residence. That data directly challenged his repeated assertion that he had never been to the house.
Jurors also heard about Edward’s relationships and the warnings that preceded the homicide. Stacy’s account explained that Edward had allegedly been assaulted and threatened by a man connected to Paris after that man’s release from prison. Other witnesses described Edward as generous and trusting, someone who helped Paris and her children despite concerns from people around him that he was being taken advantage of.
The defense had to confront a difficult combination. There was no recovered murder weapon and no clean forensic identification from the shell casings that independently named Glenn. But the prosecution did not need any single piece of evidence to stand alone. It argued that the witness accounts, the phone data, Glenn’s inconsistent statements, Paris’s testimony, and the history of conflict all pointed in the same direction.
Edward’s family also testified about the man they had lost. Lyanna Wolf, one of Edward Lewis’s sisters, told the court that Edward was mentally challenged and described him as kind-hearted, nonthreatening, and unlikely to harm anyone. The source portrays his family as struggling not only with the violence of the death but with the fact that Edward had been killed after opening his life to people he believed he was helping.
The jury was shown photographs from the crime scene. The source notes that one juror visibly reacted to the condition of Edward’s body. Glenn did not address the court personally.
The jury ultimately found him guilty of murder and aggravated burglary.
On December 5, 2025, Mikuel Glenn returned to court for sentencing. The judge imposed a prison term of 29 to 34 and a half years, described in the source as the maximum sentence available to the court for the convictions. The judge reportedly said that if the law allowed him to impose more time, he would have done so.
The sentence came more than two years after Edward Lewis was found dead in his kitchen.
The case had begun with a neighbor noticing a car that had not moved, a garage door left open, and a late-night visitor calling Edward’s name. It moved through family suspicions, a jailed friend’s warning, a reluctant witness, and a suspect who repeatedly denied even being at the victim’s house. For a long time, the investigation had almost everything except the one piece that could move suspicion into a courtroom.
That piece was the phone data.
It did not solve the case by itself. It gave detectives the leverage to return to Paris, confront the earlier story, and reopen a conversation that had been frozen by fear. Two days after that second interview, Paris came back and provided the account prosecutors would later use at trial.
Her delay remained one of the most painful parts of the case. Detectives had spoken to her shortly after Edward’s death. She had known Glenn, had access to the car investigators were asking about, and had been in Edward’s life for years. Yet she did not tell the full story until much later.
At trial, Paris said fear was the reason. The source frames her silence as a major reason the case took so long to resolve. Whether every decision she made in those first days can be understood from the outside is something the record cannot completely answer. What is clear is that once the phone records contradicted the original denials, the investigation changed permanently.
Edward Lewis had spent years helping people around him. He helped Paris with her children, gave her money, drove her family, helped with housing, and continued showing up even after people close to him warned that the relationships around him were becoming dangerous. Stacy remembered telling him to take a death threat seriously. His boss, according to Stacy, had warned him that he was giving too much to someone who did not treat him with the same care.
On Halloween night in 2023, according to the case presented in court, Edward once again opened his home to someone connected to that circle. He had no reason to believe a request to use the bathroom would become the last act of trust he ever offered.
Two days later, his neighbor found him.
Two years later, a jury finally heard the story that had been hidden behind conflicting interviews, fear, and digital records.
And on December 5, 2025, the man convicted of killing Edward Lewis was sentenced to spend decades in prison.
