A sheriff's deputy in Ohio who fatally shot 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr. is retiring.

The Franklin County Sheriff's Office told WSYX that Deputy Jason Meade would be retiring with disability on July 2.

"Law Enforcement disability decisions are governed by state law and made by the pension system," Sheriff Dallas Baldwin told WSYX. "As sheriff, I have no control or input over what the pension system decides with this or any other disability case."

Meade has been on leave since fatally shooting Goodson while he walking into the front door of his grandmother's home in Columbus, Ohio, on December 4.

The Franklin County Coroner's Office determined in March that Goodson had been shot five times in the back, the Associated Press reported at the time. Goodson's death was listed as a homicide.

The shooting is still being investigated.
