A specially appointed prosecutor said that he will not pursue any charges against the Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks more than two years ago.

Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, announced that he will not pursue charges against Garrett Rolfe, the white officer who shot and killed the 27-year-old black man in June 2020.
