The gun the deputy said Casey Goodson Jr. was waving when he was shot in the back multiple times was found in the man’s kitchen with the safety on, the prosecutor shared publicly for the first time.

Prosecutors say a gun that a former Ohio sheriff’s deputy said a man was waving at him when he fatally shot him in the back in 2020 was found in the man’s kitchen with the safety on.

Based on Meade’s aiming at “vital organs” and shooting of an assault style rifle, Shroyer said Meade’s actions meet the criteria for knowingly and intentionally causing Goodson’s death.
