Bodycam footage has been released showing the moment a Florida deputy fatally shoots an Air Force airman as he answered the door to his apartment
The bodycam footage was released after the family’s civil rights attorney, Ben Crump, who represents the family, urged officials to make it public. The family and local police are in a dispute as to what really happened in the lead-up to the deadly shooting which took place in Okaloosa County, which is located in the northwest of Florida.
