Ex-Atlanta Officer Pleads for Job After Traffic Ticket Incident Leaves 62-Year-Old Dead – Request Denied

The Atlanta Civil Service Board has rejected the appeal of former officer Kiran Kimbrough, who sought reinstatement following his termination connected to a fatal incident involving 62-year-old Deacon Johnny Hollman in 2023. Kimbrough's actions during a traffic citation escalated into violence, leading to Hollman's death. The board cited protocol violations and determined Hollman posed no real threat. His family expressed relief at the decision, continuing to advocate for Kimbrough’s criminal prosecution. They assert that justice for Hollman remains their priority.
