The former Atlanta police officer charged with murder in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks last week turned himself into authorities on Thursday afternoon, in keeping with an arrangement with prosecutors, according to county jail records.

A second officer on the scene, Devin Brosnan, did not discharge his weapon. He faces a handful of lesser charges, including aggravated assault and violation of his oath. “Officer Brosnan has not agreed to testify. He has not agreed to plead guilty,” Samuel said in a statement, adding that he “has not agreed to be a ‘state’s witness.’”
Previously released video of Brooks appeared to show him grabbing one of the officer’s Taser stun guns and turning and pointing it at Rolfe before being shot. Howard said Thursday that investigators concluded Rolfe knew by then that the Taser had already been fired twice and thus was rendered harmless.
“I almost was killed myself. I feel troubled about it but I’m glad the family is getting the justice it deserves.”
