A Florida family is demanding justice after 23-year-old Air Force airman, Roger Fortson, was shot and killed inside his own home by a sheriff's deputy. The Okalusa County Sheriff is now releasing body cam video of the fatal shooting, and he's disputing the family's claim that his deputy went to the wrong apartment. We want to warn you, some of the footage you're about to see is disturbing. Cnn's nick Valencia reports.

Newly obtained police dispatch audio reveals Hills, the first call came in around 4:00 PM on May third about a physical disturbance in progress.

I don't have any further other than a male and female. It's all a fourth-party information. Here's the front desk at the leasing office.

Around 4:29 PM, the four-minute police body camera video begins with an Okalusa County, Florida Sheriff's Deputy arriving on the scene. She was saying that it happens frequently, but this time it's not like you're getting out of camp. A woman at the complex tells the Deputy she heard yells and a slap coming from the apartment two weeks ago, but wasn't sure exactly where it came from. Eventually, she directs the Deputy to fourth floor apartment 1401, the home of 23-year-old senior airman, Roger Fortson, saying the girl who made the call about the physical disturbance sounded scared. At 04:31 PM, the deputy knocks once without introducing himself. Roughly 30 seconds later, he knocks again twice.

A warning, what you're about to see over the next 20 seconds is graphic. Step out.

Fortson, who appears in the body camera video to have a lowered firearms in his right-hand, was shot six times to the chest. He survived the initial shooting.

312 K, you missed my location.

But was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

My baby was my Everything. Roger was my third son. Where we come from, you don't end up where Roger end up.

Adding to their pain, Fortson's family believes deputies went to the wrong address, a claim that the sheriff disputed while defending his deputy's actions. Ben Crump, Natalie Jackson, and Brian Barr represent the family. They say the initial police statement was misleading and left out key details of the shooting.

It makes you think this It happened outside, that this kid was in the middle of a disturbance, and he did something. He instigated this and lost his life. That's what it makes it sound like. It sounded like Justified.

We are aware of a press release and other comments that falsely state our deputy entered the wrong apartment and imply that they burst through the door into Mr. Fortson's residence.

During the shooting, the airman was on a FaceTime call with his girlfriend, who Crump says told him there was never a disturbance at Fortson's home. Crump says Fortson had been home alone just 30 minutes before the deputy arrived.

He heard two knocks at the door, and when he couldn't see anyone through the peephole, Crump said, sighting the girlfriend, then, Fortson grabbed his gun, which Crump said he legally owned.

In the Girlfriend's FaceTime video, we hear Fortson struggle to breathe after the shooting as he lies on the floor bleeding out.

Do not move. Stop moving.

The deputy is now on paid administrative leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigates.

The state attorney O'Neill's office in Okalusa County tells me that they are going to wait for the FDLE to finish their investigation before they decide whether to pursue charges. I did get in touch with the chief assistant state attorney there in the county who tells me that he did see the video, but he refused to comment, adding that it's too early for them to do anything with the case. He also said that there's no expected timeline as to when the FDLE will wrap their investigation. Nick Valencia, CNN, Atlanta.

All right, joining me now to talk more about this. A tragic shooting is Derek Johnson. He is the President of the NAACP. Derek, great to see you. From Roger Fortson's family to his attorneys, this is upsetting for many reasons. How do you see this?

Well, another example, when you don't have any accountability metrics for police officers to de-escalate scenarios. But in this case, the question is, what crime was committed? What crime was allegedly committed, and there was no crime. He simply was seeking to answer the door of a police not. And at some point, we must, as a society, determine the type of nation we would like to be as opposed to what's taking place. In 2023, we had a 10-year high of police-involved shootings of individuals. Significant number of those individuals were African-Americans, and a large number of those individuals were unarmed. When will we stop this madness and address this public policy fiasco? Will we are allowing law enforcement officers just to kill people and never be held accountable?

This body cam footage reveals the deputy knocked on the door at this Fort Walton Beach apartment that a neighbor, as we saw in nick Valencia's piece, pointed out, but seemingly with uncertainty. The Florida Department of Law law enforcement FDLE, is going to investigate while the Okalusa County Sheriff Deputy, who is unnamed, is on leave. Does this feel urgent or transparent enough to you?

It is completely untransparent. First First of all, you have a neighbor who heard an argument, a domestic disturbance between two people who are familiar with one another. That person never stated, based on what's been shared publicly, that there was violence that rose to the level of armed deadly force. Secondly, he was home alone. This neighbor had the wrong apartment. And thirdly, the girlfriend was on FaceTime with him. What crime did he commit to cause this officer to use who's deadly for us. It is legal for an individual to have a firearms in their home. It is legal for someone like him to actually have an altercation so long as no one's life is at risk. And there's no evidence that the apartment that was called was his apartment, and there's no evidence that anyone like was at risk.

Do you have confidence in the FDLE leading this investigation?

Unfortunately, we have a history in this nation where And law enforcement agencies protect officers who commit these type of crimes, in my opinion. There is no accountability. In fact, until we pass a George Floyd Police Reform Act, we're going to continue to see these same type incidents. That's why it's important to make sure that we have a Congress with enough courage to hold bad officers accountable, train good officers on how to de-escalate, and maintain a database so law enforcement officers cannot go from agency to agency to agency and commit these heinous crimes.

All right, Derek Johnson. So glad you could be with us. Thank you so much.

Thank you.
