Jimmy Atchison was shot and killed on January 22, 2019, by former Atlanta police officer Sung Kim.
For more than three years, Jimmy Hill has kept a weekly vigil outside the offices of the Fulton County district attorney in Atlanta, distributing fliers about his son’s death at the hands of police and demanding justice.
Atchison was unarmed when he was shot in the face after a foot chase. An investigation by the previous administration at the Fulton County DA’s office found the shooting to be unjustified and recommended the officer who killed Atchison be charged with felony murder. The officer has said he believed Atchison was armed but investigators later confirmed he was not, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
