"We were all in shock," said Megan Chin, the manager.
Lewis was let go a few months ago for unspecified reasons, said Sofia Gonzalez, 23, a coworker who said she has known Lewis since they were schoolmates at Olney High School.
"I believe it was money problems that pushed him over the edge," said Gonzalez, who said she did not think he would stage an armed robbery at another Dunkin' Donuts out of spite.
"He wasn't the type to hold a grudge like that," she said. "He just had issues. "
And in the alleys near the Roosevelt Boulevard home of Lewis' grandmother Vernetha Glover Henry, plainclothes detectives scoured the grounds while the suspect's relatives congregated outside and professed the young man's innocence.
"The cops have the wrong person," said Chantelle Bennett, a cousin who complained that the news of the arrest warrant had harmed Glover Henry's day-care business.
Lewis sometimes spent time with the children, Bennett said.
Janice Torrence Glover, 17, an aunt to Lewis, speculated that maybe he should not surrender. He has been convicted in the public's eye, she said, and "it could be dangerous for him. "
She doubted that he killed the police officer. "He's too goofy to pull the trigger," she said.
Adding Lewis to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list would give "the case more national prominence and involve the FBI's national resources," said agency spokeswoman Jerri Williams.
