An autopsy of activist Manuel Paez Terán’s body conducted by the DeKalb County medical examiner’s office has found he was hit with at least 57 gunshot wounds, casting further doubt on the police narrative of his killing.
Terán, known to friends as Tortuguita, was a 26-year-old environmental activist participating in “Cop City”, the movement to stop the construction of a sprawling new police training centre in the forest outside of Atlanta when he was shot to death by law enforcement officers during a raid in January.
