Autopsy Reveals 'Cop City' Activist Shot Over 50 Times by Officers in Atlanta

The official autopsy report for Manuel Paez Terán, an environmental activist shot and killed by police during a raid in a Georgia public park, does not support the state's narrative that Paez Terán fired first. The report states that gunpowder residue was not found on Paez Terán's hands or clothes, but the absence of residue is not conclusive evidence that he did not fire a weapon. The autopsy report details the 57 gunshot wounds Paez Terán received, but does little to clarify what actually happened that day.

"Cop City" Activist Shot 57 Times in Atlanta, Autopsy Reveals No Evidence of Self-Defense

Manuel Paez Terán, an environmental activist and 'Cop City' protester, was shot 57 times by police during a demonstration at a controversial police and firefighter training site in Atlanta, Georgia. Police claim Terán fired a gun, injuring a state trooper, but the state autopsy found no evidence of gunpowder residue on Terán's clothes or around any of the gunshot wounds. Terán's family plans to file a lawsuit to force police to release more information. Protests over the proposed training centre in Atlanta have grown violent, with 23 people arrested and charged with domestic terrorism offences in March.

Lack of Autopsy Results for Activist Shot by Police Raises Concerns.

The autopsy of Manuel Paez Terán, an environmental activist shot and killed by police during a raid near Atlanta, Georgia, has not been completed nearly two months after his death. The autopsy could provide information on whether Terán fired a gun first at officers, but it remains unclear what work remains undone. Paez Terán's family has filed a lawsuit against the city of Atlanta in pursuit of video and audio recordings made during the raid. The family-ordered autopsy appeared to show that the activist was sitting cross-legged, with their hands in front of their face, when hit by a hail of bullets.
