The Perils of the Fortson Family: Tragedy Strikes Twice

Andre Fortson, the teenage brother of a US Air Force airman, was fatally shot in DeKalb County, Georgia. This tragic incident comes merely three months after his brother, Roger Fortson, was shot dead by a Florida sheriff's deputy. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump represents the grieving family.

The Fortson family is grappling with a second tragic loss following a recent incident in DeKalb County, Georgia. Andre Fortson, a 16-year-old, was fatally shot this week, according to the local police. Known to be the younger brother of Senior Airman Roger Fortson, Andre's death is another devastating blow to the family.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has been advocating for the Fortsons since Roger's fatal shooting by a sheriff's deputy in Florida, expressed deep sorrow. 'The Fortson family is battling the loss of yet another young member of their family,' Crump said, emphasizing the immense emotional burden the family now endures.

Authorities revealed that Andre Fortson was caught in a crossfire between two groups at an apartment complex in DeKalb County. One individual has been arrested in connection to the shooting. This loss follows the contentious May killing of Roger Fortson, which led to the firing of the involved deputy. Crump continues to seek justice for the family's recent and past traumas.
