The Columbus Police Department says it is preparing for demonstrations this weekend after a law enforcement officer shot and killed a man as he entered his own home earlier this month.
Casey Goodson, 23, was shot and killed by a Franklin County sheriff s deputy on Dec. 4. Goodson s family says he did not have a criminal record and says it s unclear what crime he could have committed prior to the shooting.
Goodson s family and law enforcement authorities have given conflicting reports as to what happened since the day of the shooting. Goodson s grandmother, Sharon Payne, told a 911 dispatcher on the day of the shooting that Goodson had just returned from the dentist when she heard gunfire. She said Goodson then stumbled into the kitchen, bleeding and carrying a Subway sandwich that he had bought on the way home.
