Jason Meade found guilty in fatal shooting of Casey Goodson Jr. in Ohio

A former law enforcement officer has been found guilty over the fatal shooting of Casey Goodson Jr. in Ohio, according to the supplied court row.

The case centres on Jason Meade, who had been searching for a fugitive when he shot Mr Goodson in 2020.

The verdict marks a significant development in a case that has drawn attention because it involved an on-duty killing.

The supplied material does not give the exact charges, the sentence, or details of the court proceedings.

It also does not say when sentencing or any further hearings may take place.

The outcome matters because convictions of law enforcement officials in on-duty killings are described in the row as rare.

That makes the verdict notable beyond the individual case.

The row identifies the shooting as having taken place in Ohio in 2020, but gives no further information about the circumstances of the encounter or the wider investigation.

No additional official reaction, family response or legal next steps are included in the supplied material.
