An Atlanta police officer shot Rayshard Brooks during a tussle at a Wendy's. The 27-year-old was supposed to take his daughter skating the next day.
ATLANTA – Hours before police shot him outside a Wendy's fast-food restaurant in Atlanta on Friday, Rayshard Brooks had done what dads do: enjoyed a father-daughter day in honor of his little girl's eighth birthday.
Police were dispatched to the Wendy's around 10:30 p.m. and conducted a sobriety exam on Brooks, who failed the test, then resisted officers' attempts to arrest him, according to investigators. Family attorney Justin Miller said Brooks took his daughter to get her nails done and pick up something to eat Friday. Saturday, she put on a special dress for the second round of the big occasion, awaiting her dad.
