Feds joins Columbus police in Casey Goodson Jr. shooting investigation
As federal authorities announced Tuesday they are joining Columbus police in the investigation into the death of a 23-year-old Black man who was shot by a sheriff's deputy, many questions continue to go unanswered.
U.S. States Attorney David DeVillers announced Tuesday that the FBI, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and Columbus police's Critical Incident Response Team will "review the facts and circumstances" surrounding the shooting death of Casey Goodson Jr. by Franklin County Sheriff's SWAT deputy Jason Meade last Friday afternoon.

Law enforcement officials have said Goodson drove by after the plain-clothes deputies and agents had finished their unrelated operation on Estates Place on the Northeast Side. Goodson was waving a firearm at police, according to their narrative of events. When confronted, Goodson did not drop the firearm and Meade shot him.
Goodson's family has said he had a valid license for carrying a concealed weapon, which Columbus police confirmed, and that he was carrying sub sandwiches while walking into his home when he was shot.
