A Sellersburg, Indiana man is facing multiple charges after he shot and killed his wife inside their home.
Clark County officers responded to a home in the 11000 block of Forrest Hill Circle on a report that a suspect shot his wife and fled, the release said. When officers arrived, they found Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennett-Lewis dead inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds.
The suspect, Mac Lewis, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and criminal recklessness with a firearm.
The investigation revealed that the victim’s 11-year-old daughter and her 10-year-old friend were inside the home and were near Mac when the shooting happened. Clark County Chief Deputy Scottie Maples said Lewis is not the biological father of the 11-year-old.
Elizabeth’s daughter called 911 while Lewis was shooting his gun throughout the house, ultimately killing her mother.
Multiple gunshots were found throughout several rooms and areas in the home, the release said.
Sellersburg police officers were able to find Lewis driving on State Road 60. Lewis was taken into custody during a traffic stop without incident. He is scheduled to appear in Clark Circuit 1 Court on Monday, according to the release.
The family of the victim has asked that any inquiries to them be directed to the family representative Larry O. Wilder at 502-930-4152.
