From [HERE] It’s been nearly a month since 58-year-old Euree Lee Martin walked from Milledgeville to Deepstep in neighboring Washington County where he later collapsed and died on the side of Deepstep Road after being tased while deputies responded to a report of a "suspicious person" on the road.

Details surrounding what led up to the incident have yet to be made public, as an investigation by a state law enforcement agency continues. 

Deputy Michael Howell, Sargent Lee Copeland and Deputy Rhett Scott were the responding officers who killed Martin according to a press release from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office says Martin fought deputies, but a bystander's phone video doesn't show that.

Dotson called the Tasing a "wrongful death," because there's no evidence that Martin did anything wrong.

"The video doesn't show him doing anything but walking, and that's not a crime," said Dotson.

A rep from the NAACP, Quentin T. Howell, no relation to Deputy Howell, said the NAACP was seeking the 911 tape be released to the public by authorities, as well as the dash camera recording from the deputies at the scene, along with the deputies’ body camera recordings of the incident.

Martin, who was known to walk from his home in Milledgeville to Deepstep to visit family members, reportedly did that same thing Friday, July 7.

Shortly before 7:30 p.m., a dispatcher with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a resident identifying himself as Cyrus Harris, who lives in Deepstep, according to a copy of the incident report from the call.

Deputy Michael Howell responded to the area of 11263 Deepstep Road to a complaint from Harris of a suspicious person.

That person turned out to be Martin.

“Before making it to 11263 Deepstep Road, I observed the black male on the right side of the road walking toward traffic that was headed toward Milledgeville near Deepstep Road and Mt. Sinai Road,” Deputy Howell said in the report. “I pulled alongside the black male with my passenger window down and asked the male subject, ‘Are you OK, and what’s your name.’ And he looked at me and asked, ‘Who are you,’ and he walked off walking toward Sandersville.” 

Nothing further was mentioned by the deputy in his incident report concerning what led up to deputies later deploying their department-issued Tasers on Martin.

Quentin T. Howell said Martin was not stopping at anyone’s house.

“All he was doing was walking up the road,” Howell said. “Why do cops have to be called for an American walking down the street and minding his own business? If we called the police every time we didn’t recognized somebody, police officers would hardly be able to do anything else except answer calls like that — day and night.
