“...
Casey Goodson, 23, was fatally shot on Friday by a 17-year veteran of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, identified as deputy Jason Meade. Meade was working for the US Marshal's fugitive task force looking for violent offenders at the time, but Goodson was not the person being sought by the task force, Columbus Police said.

Goodson had put his keys into his door before he was shot and fell into the kitchen, where his 5-year-old brother and his 72-year-old grandmother saw him lying on the ground with a Subway sandwich, family attorney Sean Walton told CNN.

Goodson, an Ohio concealed carry permit holder, was legally armed at the time of the shooting, according to the Columbus Division of Police. Goodson was not alleged to have committed any crimes, has no criminal background and was not the target of any investigation, Walton told CNN.

Later in the article, it writes about how the “Columbus Police had on Monday attempted to turn over the investigation to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), ...” that’s also rather appalling.

You know, I know a bit about the Marshals and fugitive apprehension. My wife's first cousin runs a team.

There is a lot more to this story than what is in the article.

Why is that appalling?

That's what he gets for eating Subway, dammit! (Seriously, there's gotta be a lot more to the story than this!)

What Copper said.

If a department fucks up this bad, it seems better to let some other organization investigate what happened.

On who will do the investigation:

Columbus Police had on Monday attempted to turn over the investigation to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), the state agency that typically investigates police-involved shootings. But the BCI announced that they would not be able to accept the case because of an unexplained delay in the request.
.
"We received a referral to take a three-day old officer-involved shooting case. Not knowing all the reasons as to why so much time has passed before the case was referred to BCI, we cannot accept this case," a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office said.
.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said that the BCI has a memorandum of understanding with Columbus Police that says the state agency should be the first call after a police shooting.
.
"BCI is the first call because we cannot be the subject matter experts unless we're on scene from the beginning to document the evidence of what happened from the start," Yost said in a statement Monday. "Three days later after the crime scene has been dismantled and the witness(es) have all dispersed does not work."
.
Columbus Police said Chief Quinlan's interest in having BCI involved in the case was "based solely on reassuring the public of maximum independence in the investigation of this tragedy." The department added that the Attorney General's decision to not take the case has not interrupted the investigation.
