Tamala Payne, center, addresses hundreds of marchers protesting the Dec. 4 fatal shooting of Payne's son, Casey Goodson Jr., who was Black, by a white Ohio sheriff's deputy, on Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio. Protests were planned Friday and Saturday over the death of Goodson. Columbus police and the U.S. Justice Department are investigating the shooting.

According to authorities, the officer said he had seen Goodson carrying a gun and opened fire on him when Goodson ignored the deputy’s order to drop the weapon.

Goodson’s family said he had been returning from a local sandwich shop and was shot in the back as he was about to enter his home. They said he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

A coroner’s report said Goodson was shot multiple times in the torso.
