Court Documents Detail Violent Thanksgiving Confrontation Inside Raleigh Apartment
RALEIGH, N.C. — A peaceful Thanksgiving evening turned into a terrifying ordeal for two Raleigh residents after police say a man forced his way into an apartment, assaulted both occupants, attempted to kidnap a woman, and stole her phone during a violent confrontation. Newly issued court documents reveal that 37-year-old Malcolm Alexander Lewis is now facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges tied to the November 27, 2025 incident.
According to the warrant issued the next day on November 28, the chaos began inside an apartment at 7791 Midtown Market Avenue, Apt. 206. Investigators say Lewis showed up on Thanksgiving and forced his way into the residence, damaging the front door as he entered. Once inside, he allegedly assaulted Derek Reddick, striking him in the face with a closed fist.
The warrant states that Lewis then turned his attention to Devin Kierra Duncan, violently taking her iPhone 13 Pro Max, valued at $1,200, directly from her possession. Authorities say the robbery involved “forcible and violent taking,” consistent with the state’s definition of common law robbery. Police further allege that Lewis attempted to kidnap Duncan by trying to remove her from one location to another without her consent and with the intent to terrorize her.

Court documents also outline that Lewis’ forced entry into the apartment was not random. The break-in charge indicates he entered the unit with the specific intent to terrorize or injure both Duncan and Reddick.
In addition to the robbery, attempted kidnapping, break-and-enter, and assault accusations, Lewis is also charged with injury to real property for the damage caused to the apartment door.
