The fatal shooting of Roger Fortson by a Florida sheriff's deputy when the Air Force senior airman opened his door armed with a handgun pointed down happened almost a month ago, but the information released so far hasn't clarified why the officer was directed to his apartment.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office has released the deputy's body camera video of the May 3 shooting and redacted 911 calls and reports, but not the deputy's name. The agency also has not said if the deputy has made any statement to investigators. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, but since its probe is ongoing, it won't comment.. The deputy's race has not been released.
