(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man, was shot five times in the back by a white Ohio sheriff’s deputy last December, according to a final coroner’s report released Thursday.
The final autopsy confirmed statements previously made by Goodson’s family that the 23-year-old died after former Franklin County sheriff’s deputy Jason Meade shot him multiple times in the back and torso. Relatives say Goodson was opening the door to his grandmother’s house at the time.
“This family and this city have been through enough trauma and our healing cannot begin until Meade is held accountable for this heinous act,” Sean Walton, one of the attorneys for Goodson’s family, said in a statement Wednesday night. “Jason Meade is a threat to the community and public safety each and every day that he continues to be free,” he added.
The Franklin County coroner listed the cause of death as a homicide—a medical determination used in cases where someone has died at someone else’s hand, but not a legal finding. It doesn’t imply criminal intent.

hand - there was no threat to the officer's life.
This cop should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
