GA deputy is not charged with the fatal shooting of a relieved man on I-95-WSB-TV Channel 2

Camden County, Ga. – A Georgia member who shot a man during a traffic stop on Interstate 95 will not have any criminal complaints, according to the district prosecutor.

Leonard Cure died in October 2023 after he was tackled and shot by a deputy of Camden County, who overtook him for speed over the speed and ruthless driving. Body Camera and Dash Camera video showed that healing was initially observed and then rejected the commands of the MP, which escalated into a physical struggle.

On Tuesday, the district prosecutor of the judiciary in Brunswick said that the deputy is not officially charged.

“At this point, the use of fatal violence was clearly sensible at this point in time, since it was overwhelmed at that time,” said Keith Higgins of Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The top -class civil rights lawyer Ben Crump represents the family of Cure. He called the decision “a devastating failure of justice”.

“Leonard Cure was a man who had already fought so hard to regain his life after an illegal conviction, just to steal it again. His family will not stop fighting for accountability, and we will not, ”said Crump in an explanation.

“This struggle applies not only to Leonard's family – but to every family who suffered from an unchecked police force and a chronic lack of accountability. We will not let this severe injustice forget. We will continue to request the accountability for the defects in police work in this country, ”he added.
