In July 2024, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners in Ohio approved a $7 million settlement with the family of Casey Goodson Jr. Ohio Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Jason Meade shot and killed twenty-three-year-old Goodson in December 2020 as Goodson tried to enter his grandmother’s Columbus home. Meade said he shot Goodson because the young man allegedly turned toward him with a gun. Goodson’s family and prosecutors said he was holding a sandwich bag in one hand and his keys in the other when Meade fatally shot him. They did not dispute that Goodson may have been carrying a gun, but noted that he had a license to carry a firearm. |
