The girl's twin intervened in the struggle, but her sister came out of the house with a knife."The first sister ... got around her, moved toward the victim and eventually stabbed him in the chest," Qualters said.The girl ran to the home of Christopher Robertson, her neighbor."She was frantic, out of her mind. I don't even think she realized what she had done," Robertson said. "She was like, 'Oh my God, I stabbed Mike and my sister's hurt. He pushed me. That's why I did it."Lewis died from his wound. When police arrived, both girls were arrested."When officers arrived, the first sister was being taken into custody. She resisted," Qualters said. "The sister struck one of the officers in the head.
