On 01/18/2023, a militarized response by Atlanta police and SWAT arrived and executed Tortugita in his tent. An officer was shot in the abdomen and Tortugita was blamed for firing shots which eyewitnesses vehemently denied. When a BWC video was released later, an officer is overheard commenting that the officer who was shot was likely shot by police friendly fire, not Tortugita as had been claimed by police. Additionally, private autopsy conducted by the family revealed that Tortugita had been shot through both hands as he held them up defensively, speaking against the police claim that he was holding and firing a gun when shot.No officers were charged. The police investigation has been unforthcoming in transparency and accountability.
