Casey Christopher Tank Goodson, a 23-year-old Black man from Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot on December 4, 2020, by former Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Meade as Goodson was entering his grandmother’s home. Meade said Goodson pointed a gun at him twice and that he fired in self-defense. Goodson’s family and prosecutors disputed that account, saying he was holding a sandwich bag and his keys, not a gun, when he was shot.

Meade was charged with murder and reckless homicide, and the case went to trial. In February 2024 the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict; the judge declared a mistrial after nearly three days of deliberations and the special prosecutors said they would consider whether to seek a retrial.

Casey Goodson Jr.’s death has become a focal point in protests over racial injustice in policing. Does anyone have additional firsthand information about the incident or Goodson’s movements that day?
