Harmless concealed bring allow Holder, Killed with the aid of police officers while Bringing Lunch to His Grandma



Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., 23, had no listwasn't wanted by police, and was bringing his grandmother lunch, when he was gunned down by Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy, Jason Meade who was working with a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force. His grandmother and two toddler children watched Goodson die ahead of them — their Subway sandwiches lying in an exceedingly pool of blood.

Goodson, in keeping with an attorney for the family, had not been speculated to have committed any crime, had no criminal background and wasn't the target of any investigation. Nevertheless, he was wrongly targeted by police and gunned down.

Police claim Goodson pulled a gun on them — as he brought three Subway sandwiches to his grandmother and two toddlers, while unlocking the door — and therefore the deputy was forced to fireplace on him.

Though claiming to search out a gun, in their statement, police admitted that that they had no legitimate reason for approaching Goodson.

“The deputy was investigating things and there are reports of a articulation. The deputy fired at Mr. Casey Goodson, leading to his death,” consistent with a sheriff’s statement. “A gun was recovered from Mr. Goodson. Mr. Goodson wasn't the person being sought by the U.S. Marshals task force.”

According to Sean Walton, from the business firm of Walton and Brown, LLC, Goodson was licensed to hold a concealed weapon “and Ohio doesn't prohibit the open carrying of firearms.”

It is indeed likely that Meade simply saw the completely legal and licensed gun, unjustly “feared for his life,” and killed Goodson for no reason.

“Casey was shot and killed as he unlocked his door and entered his home,” Watson said. “His death was witnessed by his 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers who were near the door.”

Though the sheriff’s department “reported witnessing a person with a gun,” Goodson wasn't that man. What’s more, it makes no sense for Goodson to go away the dentist’s office where he just had his teeth cleaned, develop Subway for his family, and wave a gun out of his window on the way home. Goodson was a concealed carry permit holder. He had been through training and knew the ins and outs of carrying a firearm.

“It doesn’t be,” Walton said. “Who drives down the road waving a gun out of the window? This isn’t a music video. this is often world.”

We agree.

“There’s no reason or justification for why any of this happened,” Walton said. “He fell and died in his own kitchen.”

According to the family, the baggage of sandwiches were on the bottom next to his body after Meade killed him and that they didn’t see any gun.

“Like many within the community, i'm at a loss of words over the killing of Casey Christopher Goodson, Jr.,” U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty, incoming chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, who represents the district where Goodson was gunned down said in an exceedingly statement on Monday.

“The circumstances surrounding his tragic death are upsetting and very unsettling because too many Black men in our community are dying or are the victims of unjustifiable, excessive force from the very people sworn to safeguard and serve all people. I join Casey’s family, friends, and also the entire community in demanding accountability and seeking justice for his senseless killing.”

Because deputies during this county don't seem to be required to wear body cameras, it's the cop’s word against the family’s. Hopefully there was a security camera nearby that captured the shooting and shows the full truth of the case, otherwise, we all know how these situations play out — even when there's video.

Predictably, like they are doing on every occasion a legal gun owner is killed by the police, the NRA is silent.

For those that remember, Philando Castile, was killed during a similar manner. Like Goodson, he had not committed a criminal offense, was a legal concealed carry permit holder, and was complying with everything the officer was telling him, yet he was gunned down before of his girlfriend and her small child.
