Two Atlanta police officers are being held accountable for the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks outside of a Wendy’s in Atlanta last Friday.
Rayshard Brooks, 27, was pronounced dead on Sunday after being shot in the back twice by Atlanta police officers according to a statement by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Surveillance video appears to show Brooks running away from the officers with a stun gun that he’d taken from one of them, said Vic Reynolds, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
As it appears in the surveillance video, while Brooks is running away, he turns around and points the stun gun at one officer before he is shot down by the now-former officer, Garrett Rolfe.
Brooks’s death comes amid countrywide protest over the May 25 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police officers.
