Five Georgia officers have been indicted on murder charges in the asphyxiation death of a festivalgoer near Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2019, prosecutors said
Dennis Romero and Anthony Cusumano Friday.
After two days of testimony, a county grand jury returned an indictment for each of the five officers Friday on one count of malice murder, two counts of felony murder and one count of aggravated assault, the DA's office said. Stroud resigned from the department Oct. 16, 2019, and Bowlden and Lewis resigned this year on Aug. 5, Hampton City Manager Alex Cohilas said. The status of the county officers was not clear.

"Fernando’s family has been patiently waiting for justice in this case and they are very glad to see that the process is now moving forward," Pate said. "We are especially grateful that the officers have all been charged with murder and we think the charges fit the crime." The complaint, filed May 11, says "officers failed to render aid and continued to pin Fernando to the ground" for nearly four minutes after he became "totally unresponsive."
