Rayshard Brooks' wife says the officers who fatally shot her husband should be jailed

• Tomika Miller, Rayshard Brooks' wife, says the officers involved in her husband's death on Friday in Atlanta should be arrested and charged.
• Brooks died on Friday night following a struggle with police officers who attempted to arrest him after conducting a sobriety test.
• The officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks has been fired from the Atlanta Police Department and the other officer involved has been put on administrative leave.

The wife of Rayshard Brooks says the officers who fatally shot her husband on Friday should be arrested.

Brooks' death sparked new protests in Atlanta over the weekend, weeks after demonstrations erupted following the death of George Floyd. The officer who shot and killed Brooks, Garrett Rolfe, has been fired, and the other officer who was at the scene, Devin Brosnan, has been put on administrative leave.

Tomika Miller, Brooks' wife, told CBS News that the officer who was put on administrative leave should be fired, and both he and the officer who shot her husband should be arrested and charged.

"It was murder. That was not justified," she said. "Because he was shot and he wasn't armed. He wasn't dangerous."

The night 27-year-old Brooks died, police had been called to a Wendy's drive-thru over a complaint that a man, later identified as Brooks, was sleeping in his car and blocking other cars, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.

Footage from a police body camera showed Brosnan waking Brooks up. Brooks then moved his car to a parking area, and Brosnan and Rolfe conducted a sobriety test.

Brosnan and Rolfe told Brooks he had too much to drink, and when they tried to put him in handcuffs, a struggle ensued.

During the struggle, Brooks took an officer's Taser and ran away. Rolfe then shot Brooks three times.

Brooks was pronounced dead at a hospital. The Fulton County medical examiner's office ruled on Sunday that Brooks died from "gunshot wounds of the back," which caused "organ injuries and blood loss."

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told CNN that Rolfe could face possible charges, including murder, felony murder, or voluntary manslaughter.

"What we're trying to determine is, at that time, whether or not the officers felt their lives were in danger — specifically officer Rolfe, whether or not he felt that Mr. Brooks, at that time, presented imminent harm of death or some serious physical injury," Howard said."Or the alternative is whether or not he fired the shot simply to capture him or some other reason. If that shot was fired for some reason other than to save that officer's life or to prevent injury to him or others, then that shooting is not justified under the law."

Miller, who had three children with Brooks and also has an older son, told ABC News that she learned of her husband's death when agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation knocked on her door Saturday morning.

"I just wish that he could have made it," she told ABC News.
