The family of Manuel Terán, a slain activist shot and killed by Georgia state troopers at the site of a proposed controversial police and fire training facility say an independent autopsy shows Teran’s hands were up when they were killed.
Terán died during a police raid on the forest where those opposed to the training center dubbed Cop City have been camping.
The GBI says a handgun was found next to Teran’s body, and claim troopers were firing back at Terán in self defense after the activist opened fire on troopers.
Lawyers for Teran’s family allege that the GBI has not released all relevant documents and video of the fatal encounter, despite repeated requests.
