The family of an Atlanta Air Force airman killed by sheriff's deputies in Florida gathered for an emotional conference on Thursday in an attempt to reframe his life and legacy.
Senior Airman Roger Fortson, a 23-year-old U.S. service member, was fatally shot on May 3 after the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office claimed a deputy responding to a call about a disturbance in progress "reacted in self-defense after he encountered a 23-year-old man armed with a gun."
