Police searched Rayshard Brooks in the parking lot.
According to a report by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, Georgia, Brooks was shot twice in the back, leading to his death.
Autopsy results performed on June 14 concluded that the cause of Brooks’ death was due to gunshot wounds and that the act that led to this black man’s death was murder.
L. Chris Stewart, attorney for Brooks’ family, said police officers should not have had to shoot the man, adding that stun guns are not deadly weapons.
“If the police were a little more sympathetic and a little less fearful, my client would not have died,” said attorney Stewart.
