A judge in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, denied bond on Tuesday for a fired deputy charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of a Black U.S. Air Force senior airman. The incident occurred on May 3 when the deputy, responding to a false domestic disturbance report, encountered the airman at his apartment door.
The former Okaloosa County deputy, Eddie Duran, 38, was charged with manslaughter with a firearm, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Despite objections from his lawyer, the judge ordered Duran to be held until a pre-trial detention hearing on Thursday.
