Fired police officer Garrett Rolfe surrendered to police custody following Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard filing felony murder charges against Rolfe in the killing of Rayshard Brooks last Friday in a Wendy’s parking lot.
“Once Mr. Brooks was shot, there is an Atlanta policy that requires that the officers have to provide timely medical attention to Mr. Brooks or to anyone who is injured.
Brosnan also faces three felony charges including aggravated assault for standing on Brooks shoulder as he lay dying as well as a violation of oath,
“It’s very difficult when you see [the footage], when you see the demeanor of Mr. Brooks to imagine that some short time later, it ends up with him being dead,” said Howard.
Brooks died Friday night after being fatally shot by a white police officer during a scuffle in an Atlanta fast-food parking lot.
The officer shot Brooks in the back twice as the 27-year-old fled on foot with a taser he wrestled from Brooks’ partner Devin Brosnan.
