A lawyer representing the family of Roger Fortson has revealed new details from body camera footage and police radio traffic following the fatal shooting of the Black U.S. Air Force airman by a Florida sheriff's deputy. The lawyer, Ben Crump, emphasized that the deputy was directed to the wrong apartment while responding to a domestic disturbance call.
During a news conference, Crump played police radio traffic where a dispatcher mentioned that the information about the disturbance was based on 'fourth-party information' received from the leasing office. The bodycam footage also showed the deputy asking for directions to the correct apartment, to which the woman guiding him was unsure.
