Family of black man, 23, shot dead outside his home by Ohio sheriff's deputy for 'waving a gun' say he was actually carrying a SANDWICH
Ohio police are investigating after a sheriff's deputy fatally shot a black man in a possible case of mistaken identity. Casey Christopher Goodson Jr was returning home from the dentist on Friday afternoon in northeast Columbus when he encountered a veteran Franklin County sheriff’s deputy, working with the US Marshal’s Southern Ohio Fugitive Task Force. The task force had just finished an unsuccessful search for a suspect and claim that they saw the 23-year-old man drive by waving a handgun, and that he was shot exiting the car on Estate Place, just off Ferris, after refusing to put it down. Goodson later died of his injuries. But his family have disputed the events and claim that the Gap worker, who was licensed to legally carry a weapon, was actually shot in the back as he walked into his home carrying a Subway sandwich after a visit to the dentist.
