Autopsy Reveals Tortuguita Was Shot 14 Times by Police Near Atlanta, Family Files Open-Records Lawsuit to Seek Justice

The family of Manuel Esteban Páez Terán, an environmental activist known as "Tortuguita", released the results of an autopsy which revealed that he had been shot 14 times. The family's attorneys are now filing an open-records lawsuit to force Atlanta police to release more evidence about the killing, which occurred during a peaceful protest. The GBI has been investigating the shooting for nearly two months, and the family is hoping that the lawsuit will help them get the answers they are looking for and bring justice for Tortuguita and other activists.
