Walton County, FL (Newsradio Pensacola) -- The NAACP of Okaloosa County is holding a town hall meeting on the death of senior airman Roger Fortson later this month -- it will be held at the Fort Walton Beach Civic Auditorium on June 29th.
Fortson's mother and community leaders will be on hand to discuss the incident that led to Fortson's death.
He was shot and killed when an Okaloosa County deputy responded to an alleged domestic incident back in May. Fortson answered the door with a handgun, however the investigation determined he never threatened or resisted the deputy, and the use of deadly force was not justified.
The deputy involved has since been fired by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
