The sentencing date has been moved for a teen convicted of killing a Lewiston man.

A motion was filed last week to continue sentencing to allow 17-year-old Demetri Ewing’s attorneys more time to review reports. Second District Judge Jay Gaskill signed the order Thursday to extend the sentencing date to July 14th.

Ewing was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday. He was convicted of first-degree murder April 22nd for the Jan 8th, 2021, shooting death of Samuel Johns.

Ewing’s father, Clyde Ewing, was also charged with first-degree murder for the shooting death of Johns and was convicted May 21st. His sentencing is scheduled for July 21st.
