(Urbana, IL) — A woman is going to prison for illegally purchasing the gun used in the deadly shooting of a Champaign Police Officer in 2021. Regina Lewis was sentenced to eight and a half years behind bars after pleading guilty in federal court to her role in the so-called straw purchase. Lewis and Ashantae Corruthers were accused of conspiring with Darion Lafayette to purchase a firearm. Lafayette later used the firearm to kill Champaign Police Officer Christopher Oberheim in May, 2021. He was then shot and killed by Oberheim’s partner.
