ATLANTA – Hours before police shot him outside a Wendy's fast-food restaurant in Atlanta on Friday, Rayshard Brooks had done what dads do: enjoyed a father-daughter day in honor of his little girl's eighth birthday.
The party was supposed to roll into the next day with a skating celebration. But Brooks, 27, would not be there.
The father of four was shot by an Atlanta police officer while fleeing during a struggle at a Wendy's drive-thru late Friday night and died at a hospital, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
