Instead, he fatally shot Casey Goodson Jr. , a 23-year-old Black man, who had no criminal background, according to a family attorney, and was not the target of any investigation. The two found Goodson lying on the ground, family attorney Sean Walton told CNN. Columbus Police Chief Tom Quinlan on Thursday vowed for an "independent, meticulous, unbiased investigation with a singular focus: getting to the truth of what happened to Casey Goodson and why." They were treated as criminals," family attorney Sarah Gelsomino said. The mayor added local and federal authorities are "committed to following the evidence, getting to the truth and providing answers to Mr. Goodson's family and the community."
