Authorities attempted to evict the demonstrators from the plot of property on Wednesday, but Teran was shot and died in the process. Seven people in total were detained and accused of domestic terrorism.
Atlanta Police have arrested six people so far, some of whom were carrying explosives. These individuals meant violence and used the cover of peaceful protest to conceal their motives.
