Atlanta, Georgia — On May 18, 2022, Atlanta Police Officers were called to the Fogo de Chão Brazilian
Steakhouse on the 3100 block
of Piedmont Road after a 911 caller reported an unruly man armed with a gun. Officers arrived at the restaurant about 26 minutes later
and found
22-year-old Nygil Cullins, sitting
at the bar.
Cullins was reportedly a former employee of the business. Officers attempted to escort him out. Cullins was not cooperative and the encounter escalated to a physical altercation. An officer deployed his taser. However, the taser was not effective.
Cullins began heading toward the door of the business
when he was tackled by a security
guard. At that point, Cullins produced his gun and fired one round, striking the security
guard. At least one of our officers then discharged their weapon, fatally striking Cullins.
The security guard
was taken the the hospital
in stable
condition. No one else was physically injured
during the incident. A federal
lawsuit filed by Cullins family, stated that Cullins suffered such pain from the Taser that he tried to leave
but was tackled by a security
guard.
The family claims that the restaurant's security
guard
falsely portrayed Cullins as a physical threat, which led to the shooting. They are alleging inappropriate use of deadly force, negligence, and civil
rights
violations. They are suing the police
officers who killed
him, the city, the restaurant, the security
guard, and the company the guard
worked for.
