The Franklin County, Ohio, Prosecuting Attorney's office says it filed the necessary documents to appoint two special prosecutors to assist in its investigation and prosecution involving the fatal shooting of Casey Goodson, Jr.
Goodson, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in December by a Franklin County sheriff's deputy in Columbus, Ohio. Goodson's mother has said he was shot as he was entering his home after returning from the dentist and Subway.An official autopsy report released in March by attorneys for Goodson's family shows Goodson was shot in the torso six times from behind.
"As sheriff, I have no control or input over what the pension system decides with this or any other disability case," Baldwin said in the statement."It is disappointing that Sheriff Dallas Baldwin did not terminate Jason Meade on his own accord, but the news that Meade has decided to retire brings Casey's family a small sense of relief," Goodson Jr. family attorney Sean Walton told CNN in a statement.
