Former Ohio sheriff's deputy Jason Meade was charged with murder for fatally shooting Casey Goodson. Goodson's family spoke out at a press conference on Thursday.
Former Ohio sheriff's deputy Jason Meade was charged with murder on Thursday in the fatal shooting of a Black man who was shot and killed while entering his grandmother's house last December.
In March, the Franklin County Coroner said that Casey Goodson was shot in his back five times, according to ABC affiliate WSYX in Columbus, Ohio. Meade was charged with two counts of murder and one count of reckless homicide.
Goodson's mother, Tamala Payne, said it had been "a year of grief and a year of pain" at a press conference Thursday morning.
"I'm overwhelmed with joy," she said in response to the charges. "My emotions are everywhere. We did it y'all. We did it."
