ATLANTA — Atlanta Police have released bodycam and dashcam video showing the moments leading to the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot.
The shooting happened late Friday night at the fast food restaurant on University Avenue.
Police were called to the scene around 10:30 p.m. after complaints of a man asleep at the wheel near the Wendy's drive-thru line.
The man, later identified as Brooks, failed a field sobriety test, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. When officers tried to take him into custody, a struggled ensued. During the altercation, officials said Brooks grabbed an officer's Taser and began to run away. Moments later, shots were fired.
Brooks was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
One officer involved in the incident, Devin Brosnan, has been placed on administrative duty. Another, Officer Garrett Rolfe, has been terminated.
