Manuel Teran, a 26-year-old environmental activist who also went by the nickname “Tortuguita,” was shot and killed near the site of Atlanta’s controversial public safety training center one year ago on Thursday.

While a special prosecutor cleared the state troopers at the scene of any criminal charges in October, he has declined to disclose any additional records until a separate RICO and domestic terrorism case against more than 60 protesters over alleged efforts to halt construction is resolved.
