TL;DR
A Florida sheriff's deputy, Eddie Duran, has been fired following an internal investigation that found his use of deadly force in the fatal shooting of U.S. Airman Roger Fortson was unjustified.

The family and their attorney, Ben Crump, are calling for criminal charges against Duran, asserting that the shooting was a senseless killing.
