Leonard Allan Cure, who was exonerated in Florida in 2020 after serving more than 16 years of a wrongful conviction sentence, was shot and killed Monday by a deputy in Camden County, Georgia. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement Monday that a Camden County deputy stopped Cure on Interstate 95 about 7:30 a.m. He got out of the car at the deputy’s request. The statement said Cure complied with the request until he was told he was under arrest.

2 miles away from the Walgreens at the time of the robbery, and his boss said he was at work by 8 a.m. that day. The robber fled the store shortly before 7:30 a.m. “The issues we find most troublesome are those surrounding how Cure became a suspect in the first place. Seemingly, a man who had no connection to a Walgreens robbery became the main suspect after someone reviewed photos of well-dressed/neat appearing African American males. That was it,” the CRU’s memo said.
