U.S. marshal calls his post-shooting remarks 'premature'
Protesters hold signs spelling the name of Casey Goodson Jr., a Black man fatally shot Dec. 4 by a white Ohio sheriff's deputy, on Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio. Marshal Peter Tobin said he made statements based on โinsufficient informationโ he received before the beginning of an official investigation into the Dec. 4 killing of Casey Goodson J r. by a Franklin County Sheriff's deputy. Messages were left for Meade's attorney and for the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Hundreds walked from the Franklin County Sheriff's Office south of downtown to the Statehouse and a few blocks north Friday night. The Franklin County Sheriffโs Office does not provide officers with body cameras, and the deputyโs SWAT vehicle did not have a dash-mounted camera.

Police have only said that the deputy โshotโ Goodson without detailing how many shots were fired. Meade, the deputy who shot Goodson, is a 17-year veteran of the sheriffโs office. One witness heard Meade command the victim to drop his gun, and when he didnโt, the deputy shot him, Tobin said.

Mother of Black man killed by Ohio deputy: 'I want answers'
COLUMBUS, Ohio โ The mother of a Black man shot by an Ohio sheriff's deputy demanded answers Wednesday to her son's death, saying he'd done nothing wrong and was returning from the dentist with sandwiches for his family when he was killed. Police have only said that the deputy โshotโ Goodson without detailing how many shots were fired. The deputy who shot Goodson was Jason Meade, a 17-year veteran of the sheriffโs office. One witness heard Meade command Goodson to drop his gun, and when he didnโt, the deputy shot him, Tobin said. The sheriffโs office does not provide officers with body cameras, and the deputyโs SWAT vehicle did not have a dash-mounted camera.

The Franklin County Sheriffโs Office first reported Friday the fatal shooting of a man that day on the north side of Columbus. Visible evidence of the events is lacking because the Sheriffโs Office does not provide officers with body cameras, and the deputyโs SWAT vehicle did not have a dash-mounted camera. The deputy, Jason Meade, a 17-year veteran of the Sheriffโs Office, had been assigned to a U.S. One witness heard Meade command Goodson to drop his gun, and when he didnโt, the deputy shot him, Tobin said. And in September 2007, the Sheriff's Office prohibited Meade from having contact with inmates but did not disclose what conduct prompted it.
