TLANTA - The family of Nygil Cullins is speaking out for the first time after footage was released of the moment he was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer in 2022.
It's something they have been fighting for two years, saying they believe the tape will clear his name.
"All I keep seeing in my head is his hands up afraid and running for his life," Nygil Cullins' father, Quinten Cullins, said.
In the video, Cullins can be seen at the bar of Fogo De Chao in Buckhead on May 18, 2022, where he used to work. At one point, Cullins grabs a bottle of liquor from the bar.
"We have a guy in here with a gun, and he's acting very, very weird," a 911 caller said.
"He did not point the gun, but he's yelling at everybody," the caller added in a second call.
Twenty-six minutes after the initial 911 call, officers responded. APD edited the video with a red circle emphasizing Cullins with the gun. The video shows officers using Tasers on Cullins. He runs, and grabs what police say is that gun. When a security guard tackles him, police say Cullins shot and wounded the guard.

The family is running a master class in race baiting.
Cannot disagree with your logic. Our society it completely broken when this sort or malfeasance on the part of parents is expected regularly.
??? Crazy Nigel has a gun and swipes a bottle of liquor and melee ensues and Nigel shoots somebody? later during scuffle with police Nigel goes for dropped gun and it fires and he gets an APD mag dump. Seems to me APD was there to stop violence. They did that instead of wasting time to psychoanalyze poor troubled Nigel. Is that it? A cash payday for the family now?
" all they had to do is talk to him" is black code for " white peoples don't understand how good young black men with guns are, they don't wanna hurt nobody, theys just a little mad".
some Blacks are too mentally retarded to comprehend why you can't point a gun and threaten people and expect to go home that day or expect everyone not to start shooting at you.
Like pointing a gun and threatening people is normal everyday behavior for them and white folks have nothing to fear from this type of behavior.
I’m sorry for the family but if i was at a bar waving a gun around and screaming at people. I deserve to be shot. Apparently this guy was trouble and needed a dirt nap.
Hoping to hit the ghetto lottery. Has Benjamin Crump arrived?
“...if i was at a bar waving a gun around...”
Seriously?? Apparently your reading and/or viewing comprehension level is rock bottom.
Please point to where the news report or the video supports your ridiculous assertion.
These types of cases are often instigated by resistance to law enforcement.
A good summary of the situation.
