To: Florida Prosecutor, Nicholas B. Cox

Indict Eddie Duran

Nicholas B. Cox

We, the undersigned, urgently petition you to initiate formal charges against former Okaloosa County Deputy Eddie Duran. On May 3, 2024, Deputy Duran's actions resulted in the tragic and unjustifiable loss of the life of United States Air Force Senior Airman Robert Fortson. This incident has not only caused immense sorrow and outrage but has also severely undermined the integrity and trust placed in our law enforcement agencies.

Senior Airman Fortson, a dedicated member of the United States Air Force, served with distinction and honor. His sacrifice and commitment to protecting our nation were recognized and respected by his peers and the community at large. The circumstances surrounding his death have raised serious concerns about the conduct of Deputy Duran and the decisions made during the incident.

The citizens of Florida, along with residents from other states across the U.S., and the service members who served alongside SrA Fortson, are calling upon you to ensure that justice is served. We believe that a thorough investigation and the filing of appropriate charges against Mr. Duran are essential to uphold the rule of law and maintain public trust in our law enforcement institutions.

We urge you to take decisive action in this matter and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The community demands transparency and justice for the grievous loss suffered.

Sincerely,

Brandon Miles Gillette
