An attorney representing the family of a Black airman who was fatally shot by a Florida deputy in his home is urging authorities to release law enforcement bodycam footage. The victim, identified as 23-year-old Roger Fortson, was an active-duty senior airman, according to family attorney Ben Crump.
Crump expressed concerns over the circumstances surrounding Fortson's death, especially after a witness claimed that the deputy may have entered the wrong apartment. The incident occurred when deputies responded to a call for a disturbance in progress at an apartment in Okaloosa County.
