NEWNAN, GA — The family of a Black teenager who was shot and killed by a Newnan police officer earlier this month is speaking out.

Civil Rights Attorney Harry Daniels said he reviewed body camera footage with the family of Zadarious Dorsey and the district attorney on Thursday.

Officials say a gun was found 42 feet away from the place where Dorsey was fatally shot.

“We don’t understand why law enforcement thinks the most dangerous thing in America is a Black man running away from them,” Daniels said. “What we saw on the video, we saw the evidence, we saw what we believe is the unjustified killing of Zadarious Dorsey.”

According to the GBI, Dorsey pulled a gun from his waistband and refused to drop it.
