Chief Schierbaum said former officer Kiran Kimbrough didn't follow department procedures Aug. 10 when he didn't wait until a supervisor arrived to arrest Johnny Hollman Sr. The chief said he made the decision to fire Kimbrough after an internal investigation concluded Monday, CBS News reports.
Schierbaum's decision comes days before video of Kimbrough's interactions with Hollman recorded by the officer's body camera could be released. Mawuli Davis, a lawyer for the Hollman family, said Monday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told him and relatives in a meeting that the video would be publicly released as soon as Willis concludes that all witnesses have been interviewed. That could be as soon as Thursday.
Kimbrough was hired as an Atlanta police cadet in March 2021 and became a police officer that October, according to Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council records. Those records show he had no disciplinary history.
The Atlanta City Council last week called on the city to release the video from the incident. Nelly Miles, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesperson, described that agency's inquiry as "active and ongoing" on Tuesday. She said GBI and prosecutors work together to determine if video can be released before a case goes to court.
