Folks, near South Fulton Parkway and Stonewall Tell Road in Union City, Georgia. Officer Minor, who was on unpaid administrative leave due to a prior drug-related arrest, claimed he felt threatened during the ride. He alleged that Folks spoke in a foreign language via the car's Bluetooth system and ignored his requests to stop the vehicle. Believing he was being kidnapped and suspecting an attempt to recruit him into a "gay fraternity," Minor stated that when Folks reached toward the back seat, he discharged his firearm three times, striking Folks in the head. After the shooting, Minor broke a window to exit the vehicle and awaited law enforcement's arrival. Folks was pronounced dead at the scene.
