We first covered this story here. This youth comes to the neighborhood to help his aunt and gets shot to death by a zealous off-duty cop… his crime? “Officer Fisher said Miller was acting suspicious and wouldn’t obey commands.” So that means Miller deserved to get shot?!

ATLANTA – The case of an off-duty Atlanta cop charged with shooting an unarmed man will go to a grand jury sometime in the next two months.
Officer Reginald Fisher turned himself in to authorities — then posted a $35,000 bond Thursday evening.
On May 5, Tramaine Miller was shot in the face by Fisher, who was working security at the Cityview at Burney Park apartments. Officer Fisher said Miller was acting suspicious and wouldn’t obey commands.
Surveillance video showed Miller arriving at the apartments. Miller said he was there to help his quadriplegic aunt with her medicine. The video showed Miller leaving, three minutes after arriving.
According to eyewitnesses, Miller was shot about 45 to 60 seconds later.
Miller was released from Grady Hospital Tuesday with the bullet still lodged in his face.
On Tuesday, it was also revealed that Officer Fisher did not have department approval to work security at a second job.
Atlanta Police released a statement after the arrest saying, in part that “the actions of Officer Reginald Fisher do not represent the efforts of all Atlanta police officers who serve the Atlanta communities with pride and dedication.”
