Meanwhile, police sources told the Daily News that Chanel once told classmates in a rant that he hated women and wanted to harm them with a knife. In May 2011, administrators at the High School for Medical Professions in Brooklyn told police about his comments.
An unnamed source told the paper he was arguing with a female student and then asked the school’s dean, “What happens if I bring a knife to school?”
But Dr. Edward Dana, the Executive Director of the Martin De Porres School, told the paper:“Chanel Lewis attended Martin De Porres High School from September 2011 until he graduated in August 2015. During his time at the school, there is no disciplinary record against him, nor are there any reports that he made threatening statements against other students.”
Efforts to contact Lewis’ Legal Aid attorneys weren’t immediately successful.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
