Casey Goodson Jr’s mother says officers brought their ‘bias’ against her son and her family
CNNCNN — Casey Goodson Jr and his family were treated as suspects and law enforcement in Columbus, Ohio, quickly assumed a shooting that left the 23-year-old dead was justified, the family’s attorneys said. During the US Marshal’s task force operation in Columbus, Meade reported seeing a man with a gun and was investigating the situation when there was reportedly a verbal exchange prior to the shooting, the Columbus Division of Police said. Goodson's mother, Tamala Payne, and family attorney Sean Walton are urging authorities to consider murder charges for last week's shooting. “However, based on current findings, cause of death is multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.” Goodson’s family attorneys said the preliminary autopsy does not answer key questions about the deputy’s actions and renewed the family’s call for Meade to be charged with murder.
