Quintavious Zellner, 20, was arrested in the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Andre Fortson in DeKalb County. Officials say Fortson's older brother, Sr. Airman Roger Fortson was shot and killed by a northwest Florida sheriff's deputy a few months earlier.
The teenage brother of a U.S. Air Force airman who was fatally shot in his home by a Florida sheriff’s deputy in May has been killed in a shooting in the Atlanta area, police said.
Andre Fortson, Senior Airman Roger Fortson’s 16-year-old brother, was killed this week in DeKalb County, near Atlanta’s east side, DeKalb County police said. “The Fortson family is battling the loss of yet another young member of their family,” said civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has been representing the family since Roger Fortson was killed.“This has been an incredibly challenging time for them with the loss of Roger,” Crump said in a statement. “Losing the life of yet another young family member — a mere child — has been an absolute devastation.”in the breezeway of an apartment complex on Tuesday, police said.
A sheriff’s office internal affairs investigation found that Fortson “did not make any hostile, attacking movements, and therefore, the former deputy’s use of deadly force was not objectively reasonable.”Andre Fortson’s death comes about three months after his 23-year-old brother, Senior Airman Roger Fortson , 23, was killed on May 3 by Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputy Eddie Duran in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
