COURT DOCUMENTS: Fort Wayne man takes plea deal in 2023 Glenbrook Square mall shooting

Quentin A. Lewis was charged after a man was injured in the shooting.

According to court documents, Lewis had an argument with the victim before the shooting. The victim told police he was sprayed with a club and then shot, but would not provide details about his attacker.

After reviewing security footage, police said they saw Lewis running from the mall with a handgun, court records show. Six days after the shooting, Lewis was charged with criminal recklessness and assault with a deadly weapon.

Last month, Lewis pleaded guilty to one count of criminal recklessness in exchange for the battery charge being dropped.

Lewis was sentenced to three years in prison and two years probation. The sentence will be served as part of the Allen County Community Corrections Home Detention program and he must complete all recommended rehabilitation activities.

Allen Superior Court Judge Samuel Keirns ordered Lewis to “stay away from the Glenbrook Mall and Glenbrook Commons properties.”

It was ordered that the weapon in question be destroyed or returned to its rightful owner.
