Investigators on Thursday released the identity of the person who was shot and killed by law enforcement officers who were trying to clear protesters camping at the site of a planned Atlanta-area public safety training center that opponents have dubbed “Cop City.”
Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26, was shot and killed Wednesday morning, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Teran was inside a tent in the woods and did not comply with verbal commands from law enforcement officers trying to clear the area, the GBI has said.
When Teran shot and injured a state trooper, other law enforcement officers returned fire and killed Teran, the GBI has said.
Activists have questioned the police version of events and called for the release of law enforcement body camera footage.
