Edward Foster was 32 when Homestead Police officers shot and killed him on July 16, 2015, near the M&M Meat Market in Homestead, Florida. Officers say they responded to a 911 report of a man with a gun; they shot Foster 11 times after believing he posed a threat. The State Attorney’s Office later investigated and cleared officer Anthony Green, concluding the use of deadly force was lawful because Green said Foster pointed a gun at him and he feared for his life.

Foster’s family disputes the police account, saying he had his hands up when he was shot. The shooting drew sustained protest from the family amid questions about video evidence and confusion over the officer’s duty status; Foster was the third person killed by Anthony Green during his career. Foster’s mother and sister, Crystal, have been vocal in seeking further accountability and justice for his death.
