“I am here to stand with you in what feels like all-too-familiar moment: having a father killed when I was only 5 years of age. My heart deeply grieves,” she said. “I know the pain of growing up without a father and the ongoing attention around his tragic loss.”

Bernice King, who is a pastor, named all four of Brooks’ children and said he should still be alive to watch them grow to adulthood.gettyimages-1222154342

“We really should not be here today,” King said. “This did not have to happen to Rayshard.”

Atlanta born rapper T.I. also attended the funeral.

On Friday 12 June, Rayshard Brooks a 27-year-old black man was fatally shot and killed in front of Wendy fast food restaurant by an Atlanta police officer identified as Garrett Rolfe.

Brooks’ was killed just three days after George Floyd was buried.
