The attorney and family of Airman Roger Fortson spoke out today after the termination of Deputy Eddie Duran.
In a press conference at Mt. Zion Second Baptist Church in Atlanta , Attorney Ben Crump issued a statement on the firing of the deputy involved in the fatal shooting of Fortson. ATLANTA , Ga. -
In a press conference at Mt. Zion Second Baptist Church in Atlanta, Attorney Ben Crump made a statement on the firing of the deputy involved in the fatal shooting of Fortson.“The firing of the officer who shot and killed Roger Fortson is a step forward, but it is not full justice for Roger and his family. The actions of this deputy were not just negligent, they were criminal.
While the criminal investigation is still ongoing, we fully anticipate charges to be filed against this officer. The video footage provides damning proof that this was a brutal and senseless killing of a young man who was simply enjoying time alone with his dog while video chatting with his girlfriend.
Just as we did for Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, and Breonna Taylor, we will continue to fight for full justice and accountability for Roger Fortson, as well as every other innocent Black man and woman gunned down by law enforcement in the presumed safety of their own home.”Cucumbers shipped to Alabama, 13 other states, recalled for salmonella
