Activists across Atlanta held vigils and other events throughout the weekend in honour of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, 26, a protester who was fatally shot by police on Wednesday during an operation evicting demonstrators protesting the construction of a $90m police training centre in an area forest.
The killing was the latest escalation in a long-simmering protest movement that has exposed deep divisions within the city on questions of policing, protest, and race.
