(Reuters) - A Florida judge denied bond on Tuesday for a former sheriff's deputy charged in the May shooting death of a Black man serving in the U.S. Air Force, who answered a knock on his apartment door while holding a gun pointed down, according to jail records and media reports.
Eddie Duran, a former Okaloosa County sheriff's deputy who was fired by the agency after the shooting, was arrested on Monday in the death of Roger Fortson, 23, in Fort Walton Beach, jail records show. The records identified Duran . . .
