Several Georgia state legislators have requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department investigate the fatal shooting of a protester who was killed at the planned site of the controversial Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26, known as"Tortuguita," was shot and killed on Jan. 18 during a shootout involving police during a sweep of the Weelaunee Forest. Activists had set up an encampment to protest the training center, which they and other opponents refer to as"Cop City."While state officials have claimed self-defense in Paez Teran's death, a medical examiner's report indicated that he sustained at least 57 gunshot wounds.
“We believe it is essential that a credible investigation be conducted that gathers and releases the necessary information to ensure public confidence in the investigatory and law enforcement process,” the lawmakers wrote. The training center has been a subject of controversy for many months. Protesters who oppose the center's construction, either out of concern for the environment or opposition to police, have been arrested, and some have been charged with domestic terrorism.
The planned facility would eliminate greenspace within the 300-acre forest in an unincorporated area of DeKalb County. The forest, nicknamed the Weelaunee Forest, is a tribute to the Muscogee native tribe that occupied the land up until the 1820s.
