Family of man shot and killed by Orange County deputy asking for answers, accountability
An Orange County deputy shot and killed Tyrone Bartley during a drug raid at a Pine Hills residence, raising questions and concerns from Bartley's family and community groups.
The incident matters as it highlights ongoing tensions between law enforcement and communities, with calls for accountability and transparency in police actions.
The sheriff's office plans to release bodycam footage of the shooting next week, which may provide further insights into the incident.
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - The family of a man that was shot and killed by an Orange County deputy is speaking out, asking for answers and accountability from law enforcement.
What we know
The family of 32-year-old Tyrone Bartley and members of "Orlando Against Police Crimes" held a news conference on Saturday at the shooting site in Pine Hills, demanding the "full story" and accountability from the sheriff's office.
The full circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear, and Bartley's family is seeking answers and accountability from law enforcement.
The backstory
Bartley was shot and killed by an Orange County deputy earlier this month during a drug raid at a house in Pine Hills.
Deputies were executing a search warrant when they reportedly saw Bartley reach behind a door, where a rifle was found.
The sheriff's office had visited the address two weeks prior for a domestic violence call, during which drugs and a stolen gun were discovered.
The deputy who fired the gun is on paid leave.
What they're saying
Brittani Jackson, Bartley's girlfriend, expressed her grief and called for the truth, stating: "Please take accountability. Instead of painting this amazing man out to be the bad guy, just tell the truth and admit you made a mistake."
Sheriff John Mina emphasized the dangers deputies face, stating: "This case just illustrates how dangerous this is for our deputies going into a home where we know loaded guns have already been recovered."
What's next
Currently, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and will turn over the findings to the State Attorney's Office for review. The investigation will then go to the sheriff's office for an internal review.
The sheriff's office plans to release bodycam video of the shooting next week, which may provide further clarity on the incident and the actions of the deputies involved.

Oven? Never Heard of Her. These 9 Air Fryer Dishes Are It
When the heat index climbs, turning on the oven feels like a bad idea. A countertop air fryer solves the problem. It cooks quickly, keeps the kitchen noticeably cooler, and still delivers that crisp, golden finish you want for weeknight dinners. I swapped a few sheet-pan meals for air fryer recipes during a warm stretch and the difference was immediate. No waiting for preheating, shorter cook times, and less lingering heat in the room. Cleanup took minutes, since the basket and tray went straight into the sink. If your goal is fast summer dinners without heating the house, start here. These air fryer dishes keep things light on effort and heavy on flavor, with reliable results that make no-oven cooking an easy habit. What began as a glorified frozen-snack machine has turned into a full-on kitchen workhorse. The air fryer now handles everything from crispy chicken tenders to roasted veggies to gooey desserts. Beyond the staples, I've discovered a few surprising air fryer foods that I'm now completely hooked on. From whole-roasted chicken and flaky salmon to vegetables and sides, such as cauliflower, potatoes and carrots, certain foods feel like they were made to cook in an air fryer. You'll find a ton of Reddit threads with home cooks asking for the ultimate air fryer recipes and we've put together this guide to help you out with our favorites. Looking for something great to make? Check out the nine foods you absolutely have to cook in an air fryer below. And if you're searching for an air fryer or to upgrade your existing oven, we have a new favorite model with a glass cooking chamber that's easy to clean and doubles as a food storage container. 1. Salmon Just 8 minutes in the air fryer and you have perfectly medium rare salmon. David Watsky/CNET Broiled salmon is a simple, healthy weeknight dinner staple. It's not difficult to make in the oven but if you're only cooking for one or two people, the preheating time is a pain and you'll waste a lot of energy for a small amount of food. Pan-seared salmon is great and quick, but there's almost no way to cook salmon on the stove without creating an oily and odorous mess. I tried cooking roasted salmon in the air fryer and it came out perfectly in about 10 minutes, including preheating time. The closed cooking chamber captures all of the grease and even hides some of the fishy smell from taking over the space. OK, so you might catch me throwing the occasional filet of salmon on the grill during warmer months, but gone are the days of me wiping fish grease from the backsplash behind my kitchen stove. Here's how to make perfect air fryer salmon. 2. Whole chicken Air-fryer roasted chicken is a revelation. David Watsky/CNET This one surprised me the most because I make a roast chicken most Sundays and had become content with my method of using the oven. I learned fast that the air fryer does an even better job because it's able to crisp the skin quickly without overcooking the meat. Air-fryer roasted chicken takes about 45 minutes -- about 15% quicker than the oven -- and it's nearly impossible to screw up. Here's how to make a quick roasted chicken in the air fryer. 3. Bacon cheeseburgers You can cook a burger to perfect medium or medium rare with an air fryer. Pamela Vachon/CNET Air fryer cheeseburgers have become a staple around my home. The exception is during summer when the grill is in full swing but during cooler months, I turn to the air fryer for this American classic. It's not only cleaner than pan frying but the burger doesn't cook in its own grease so you get a lighter, healthier meal (if you're into that sort of thing). You can also stick the bun and a couple of slices of bacon in with the burger and you have the full meal with almost no cleanup to manage. Here's how to make a cheeseburger from top to bottom in the air fryer. 4. Chicken cutlets Air fryers turn out picture-perfect chicken cutlets. David Watsky/CNET Before the air fryer, I used to pan-fry breaded chicken cutlets for chicken Parmesan and other recipes but the air fryer does the same job with less mess and produces less oily fried chicken, too. Watch this: Best Air Fryers: Cheap vs. Expensive 19:24 I recommend using boneless chicken thighs, which have enough fat content to withstand all that convection heat without drying out. Simply coat the chicken in beaten egg wash followed by bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper and other spices. Cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. You can spray the cutlets lightly with a bit of oil before cooking to get an extra crispy crust but it's not necessary. I've tried the same method with chicken breasts; it works well but there is more risk of drying out the meat. 5. Cauliflower steak Cauliflower steak made in the air fryer has become a staple side dish in my kitchen. David Watsky/CNET One of my favorite things to cook in the air fryer is cauliflower. A slab of cauliflower makes an excellent hearty side dish or main course if you're going plant-based. Simply toss a thick slice or two of cauliflower with olive oil and salt and pepper, or some seasoning of your choice, and air fry for 10 or 12 minutes on high. The air fryer gives it a beautiful caramelized crust and it cooks the dense veggie fast enough so that the inside of the cauliflower doesn't become mushy. 6. Leftover pizza This leftover pizza got a whole new life thanks to a short trip to the air fryer. David Watsky/CNET While not every type of food is best reheated in the air fryer, a lot of them are. Air fryers are the perfect way to revive leftover pizza, fried chicken, grilled meats and vegetables. A microwave heats food unevenly and tends to impart a rubbery texture. Air fryers give food a second life via convection heat for a crispy crust and even heating. Here's the best way to reheat every type of leftover. 7. Hot dogs You can cook an entire package of hot dogs in just a few minutes. David Watsky/CNET It's hard to screw up a hot dog but if you want a perfectly charred wiener in less than five minutes with essentially no cleanup, look to the air fryer. Air fryer hot dogs are as simple as simple gets and the super convection oven gives them a perfect browning in two or three minutes. Here's how to make hot dogs in the air fryer all summer. 8. Baked potatoes Air fryer baked potatoes have crispy skin and are light and fluffy inside. Brian Bennett/CNET OK, so technically this one starts out in the microwave and then gets finished in the air fryer. The microwave softens the inside in less than 8 minutes while the air fryer blasts the edges and skin to a crispy perfection. It's a restaurant-quality baked potato in less than 12 minutes. Here's how to make the best air fryer baked potato ever. And if you're still not sure what an air fryer is and how it works, check out our complete guide to air fryers. 9. Grilled cheese This air fryer grilled cheese is as good as it looks. Pamela Vachon/CNET For a grilled cheese, the air fryer is working on both of the bread surfaces and the cheese all at once, resulting in a quicker melt, which adheres the cheese to the bread slices together making for a much easier flip. (Flipping is still recommended but with far less drama.) Here's the secret to perfect air fryer grilled cheese.
