TW: police brutality
On Friday 04th December 2020, 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr was shot and killed by police in Columbus, Ohio.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy who killed Casey was working with a US Marshals Fugitive task force. Casey was not the fugitive they were looking for.
According to Casey’s family, he was on his way back from the dentist and was carrying a Subway sandwich when he was killed. The Sheriff’s deputy shot him the back three times, in front of his grandmother and 2 toddlers, while he was attempting to enter his house. He died in his kitchen.
The police have claimed that they shot Casey following a verbal altercation after they saw him driving around waving a gun. This doesn’t explain why he was killed with his back turned as he attempted to enter his own home.
Understandably, Casey’s family have said that they have “extremely concern” about the circumstances surrounding Casey’s death and are demanding answers. Please help them to get justice by signing and sharing the petition in my bio.
