The announcement followed a news conference by Teran's family and their attorneys, who accused the GBI of failing to be transparent in their probe of the shooting. The family's attorneys also revealed that a private autopsy concluded Teran was shot at least 13 times and the bullets that hit him came from several different firearms.
Jeff Filipovits, an attorney for the Teran family, said relatives sent a request for a meeting with GBI officials back on Jan. 30 to be briefed on the investigation, but received no reply."We know very little about what happened on that day and Manuel's family is here seeking answers," Filipovits said.A woman becomes emotional during a vigil and memorial for Manuel Teran, Jan. 20, 2023, in Atlanta.
Teran was part of a protest group calling itself "Stop Cop City." The group has demonstrated against the 85-acre training facility for months, saying the center will further militarize the police.
