SPRING LAKE, NC (WTVD) --
The family of a Harnett County man shot and killed by a deputy said an altercation between the man and law enforcement revolved around the search for another man.
They said John Livingston, 33, was shot on his West Everett Drive front porch Sunday morning. It followed a fight with two Harnett County deputies who authorities said responded to the home for an assault investigation.
Livingston's family told ABC11 that the deputies were looking for another man who had previously resided in the home. When Livingston told the deputies the man did not live there, and they could not come in the home, authorities kicked in the front door and the fight ensued.
"I mean they didn't have no warrant or nothing," said Jason Livingston, John's brother. "They just busted in his house. This is wrong. Really wrong. People need to know."
