Former Florida Deputy Charged with Manslaughter in Shooting of Airman

Eddie Duran faces up to 30 years in prison for the fatal shooting of Roger Fortson during a mistaken domestic disturbance call.

Eddie Duran, a former Okaloosa County deputy, shot Roger Fortson multiple times after he answered his door holding a gun.
The incident occurred on May 3 when Duran responded to a false report of a domestic disturbance at Fortson's apartment.
An internal investigation concluded Duran's life was not in danger, leading to his termination on May 31.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and the NAACP have welcomed the charges, calling for accountability in law enforcement.
Florida law enforcement officers are rarely charged for on-duty killings, with only four cases in the past 35 years.
