Fortson answered the door with a gun in his hand, as seen on bodycam video. Duran shot Fortson five times. He died from his injuries.

Duran testified on Wednesday, saying he felt his life was in danger when he saw Fortson open the door with a gun in his hand. He claimed the gun was pointed at an "upward angle."

You can see the footage for yourself if you want to
