Florida's Okaloosa County Sheriff Department has released bodycam footage of the shooting of a US airman by a police officer.
The family of the deceased, Roger Fortson, 23, has insisted that the deputy, who was investigating a domestic violence complaint, knocked on the wrong door on May 3.
The video shows Fortson opening the door and holding a handgun at his side and pointed down. The deputy immediately opens fire multiple times at close range. Fortson later died in the hospital.
The body-camera video records the deputy twice saying "sheriff's office, open the door." It remained unclear who called law enforcement on the day of the shooting or why.
