The 41-year old officer had been working a second job as a convenience store security guard when he was killed during a hold-up at Division and Austin in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.
Two men were arrested and charged with killing Officer Lewis.
29-year old Tyrone Clay and 34-year old Edgardo Colon are being held without bond in Cook County Jail.
Police Lt. Maureen Biggane says the re-publishing of the reward flyer is being done to help detectives find at least one other person they believe is involved and to build a stronger case against Clay and Colon.
