‘This Is a Classic Defense’: Ohio Deputy Who Gunned Down Casey Goodson Has Yet to Submit to Questioning as He Claims Goodson Pointed Gun at Him
It has been two weeks since a Franklin County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., a 23-year-old Black man, as he walked into his north Columbus, Ohio home.
In the days since, national fervor has grown over Goodson’s death, several conflicting accounts have emerged publicly, rallies and protests have stepped off, and at least one law enforcement official has walked back his initial comments about the Dec. 4 shooting.
One thing has not happened in that span. Jason Meade, the officer who squeezed the trigger to fire the shots that killed Goodson, has yet to be questioned by investigators.

A man who allegedly killed a woman outside a Louisa Street home in October was arrested in New York by the United States Marshal’s Service.
Antwan Michael McClain, 37, of 1013 Hepburn St., was arraigned on multiple charges and denied bail Dec. 15 in relation to Jimia Alston’s death. City police allege McClain fired one shot into a group of eight people outside 506 Louisa St. that killed Alston before he fled the scene.
Justin Snyder, an agent of the Williamsport Bureau of Police who handled the case, alleged in an affidavit that witnesses saw a man matching McClain’s description approach the residence. McClain allegedly fired one shot into Alston’s abdomen and fled the scene eastbound before police arrived.
