An Atlanta police officer is charged with murder after the deadly shooting of a black man. Three witnesses to the entire ordeal were visitors from Memphis.
“They were scared to death. They witnessed an execution in their view point and saw someone die right in front of them,” said Shean Williams, attorney.
Shean William, seen at a news conference in Atlanta, is representing three Memphians who witnessed the shooting of Rayshard Brooks Friday night by Atlanta Police officer Garrett Rolfe.
Rolfe was charged with the murder of Brooks on Wednesday.
Williams says one of the bullets hit the side of the white SUV the Memphians were in.
“They all witnessed the horrific shooting and death of Rayshard Brooks and if things turned out a different way, they could have lost their own lives,” said Williams.
Brooks was at a Wendy’s restaurant, asleep in his car near the drive-through, when police were called.
The killing of Brooks happened about 10 feet from the Memphians’ SUV.
Williams says Memphis rappers Melvin Evans and Michael Perkins were in Atlanta to record with rapper Pastor Troy.
