What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #news - A Florida sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a Black airman over the weekend may have entered the wrong apartment in respond to a disturbance call, according to a civil rights attorney who is demanding release of body-camera video showing the shooting.
The sheriff said the deputy heard sounds of a disturbance and reacted in self defense after he encountered the 23-year-old. The sheriff did not name Fortson in his statement. The killing is reminiscent of an unannounced police raid in Louisville, Kentucky, in March 2020 when police burst into the apartment of Breonna Taylor, a Black 26-year-old emergency medical technician, killing her. Under questionable pretenses, police had obtained a"no knock" warrant to raid the apartment.
Before the shooting, Crump said, Fortson was on a FaceTime call when he heard a knock on his door. He asked, “who is it?” but didn’t get a response, according to Crump's statement.
