Former Okaloosa County deputy charged with manslaughter in Air Force Airman killing

Former Okaloosa County deputy Eddie Duran has been charged with manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Air Force Airman Roger Fortson earlier this year, the State Attorney’s Office announced.

Duran, who was fired in late May, shot Fortson six times at an apartment complex in Fort Walton Beach on May 3.

The Sheriff’s Office initially claimed Duran acted in self-defense after identifying himself as law enforcement and encountering Fortson, who was armed.

However, an internal investigation later determined that Duran’s use of deadly force was not justified, leading to his dismissal, ABC WEAR TV News 3 has reported.
