Officer Steve Casanova shot and killed Charles Roundtree when Casanova was trying to kill someone else. A 24-year-old witness who was also shot by the officer said the officer walked into an open door without identifying himself. The witness may have feared for his life when he allegedly pulled a gun when the officer came into the house uninvited. Police came to the house because of a reported assault and also shot and killed a family dog.
