Rayshard Brooks, the 27-year-old black father of four who was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer, is being remembered as a loving “girl dad” and someone family members could depend on.
Brooks was killed during a confrontation with two white police officers on Friday.
On Friday, June 12, two white police officers arrived at a Wendy’s drive-thru around 10:30 p.m. because Brooks had fallen asleep in his vehicle.
Brooks wrestled a Taser away from an officer, ran from the officers, and at one point, aimed the Taser at police before the officer fired his weapon, authorities said.
Garrett Rolfe, the officer who killed Brooks, has been fired from the Atlanta Police Department.
