Chanel would never have gone to do what they say he has done. Hes never had a fight in his 20 years, said the dad, 70, who brought along his sons high-school diploma from Martin De Porres High School in Far Rockaway, Queens, to show reporters.
Hes a humble kid. Hes a very humble kid.
Richard Lewis, the former principal of PS 181, said that last year, three local East New York youths mugged Chanel and whacked him in the head with a piece of wood, leaving him hospitalized.
Later, the ****s mugged Chanel Lewis a second time, the dad said.
Cops have said Chanel Lewis had no priors before being arrested on murder and sex-assault raps in Vetranos death in a Howard Beach park in August.
