COBB COUNTY, Ga. - The attorney for the family of a teen shot and killed by a Cobb County police officer last summer said he plans to file a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the county.

The teen was shot during the investigation of a stolen car near the intersection of South Service Road and Riverside Parkway on July 13, 2020. The Cobb County Police Department said officers spotted a car with three men inside and attempted to pull the vehicle over. The car sped off and struck a police cruiser while attempting to escape, police added.
