An investigation is being conducted by the Columbus Police Department after a Sheriff’s Deputy fatally shot a Black man as he was about to enter his home in Columbus, Ohio on Dec. 4. Casey Goodson Jr., 23, was at his front door— reportedly with his key in the door’s lock—when he was killed. In a statement released Dec. 6 on social media, the Columbus Police Department claimed that the deputy responsible, who they identified as James Meade, saw a man believed to be Goodson with a gun while driving. This led to Meade approaching Goodson after he exited his car and walked towards his home, where he was shot. Multiple members of Goodson’s family were inside the home at the time.
