Teran’s family released the results of an independent autopsy last month. According to the report, Teran had their hands up and was sitting cross-legged at the time of the shooting.

The GBI also said there is no body camera footage of the shooting.

Fox 5 Atlanta says that Terán’s death has been ruled a homicide, according to the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office.
