COLUMBUS, Ohio — U.S. Attorney David DeVillers for the Southern District of Ohio released a new statement Wednesday regarding details of the investigation into the shooting and killing of Casey Goodson Jr.
DeVillers, along with the Columbus Police Department, the F.B.I's Cincinnati office, and the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department decided to open an investigation last week after The Ohio Attorney General’s office declined to open a case, saying it wasn't aware of the incident until three days after interviews with witnesses were completed.
