"I tried to wake him up, but he's parked dead in the middle of the drive-thru, so I don't know what's wrong with him."
A Wendy's employee who called 911 before the fatal police shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta told the dispatcher that a customer who appeared to be intoxicated was asleep in his car in the restaurant's drive-thru, according to a record of the call.
Brooks, a Black man, was killed Friday night in the parking lot of the Wendy's after two officers with the Atlanta Police Department responded to the 911 call. His death has been ruled a homicide, and the officer who shot Brooks, Garrett Rolfe, has been fired. “During the course of that confrontation, Mr. Brooks was able to secure from one of the Atlanta officers, his Taser," said GBI Director Vic Reynolds at a news conference on Saturday.
In police body- and dash-camera video, Officers Rolfe and Brosnan are seen questioning Brooks for more than 25 minutes.
