Atlanta to pay $1 million to the family of Rayshard Brooks, killed by police in 2020

A still image from Atlanta Police body-worn camera footage showing Officer Garrett Rolfe speaking with 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks during their 40-minute encounter.

Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man, had fallen asleep in his car in a Wendy's drive-through lane when police were called. The city's payment will settle a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his widow.
