The FBI says it will be looking into the death of a Screven County man with the U.S. District Attorney’s Office.
Georgia State Trooper Jacob Thompson shot Julian Lewis during an attempted traffic stop on a dirt road in Sylvania, Georgia last year, according to investigators.
Thompson was fired from his position and was facing charges for murder and aggravated assault. However, a Screven County grand jury decided not to charge the trooper.
Since then, Lewis’ family has called for a federal investigation.
Earlier today, a 63-mile-long march for justice finished the last remaining miles.
The march started in Sylvania and walked to Savannah with the goal of bringing attention to the lack of charges filed against the officer in Lewis’ death.
The Southern District of Georgia U.S. Attorney’s Office is now looking into the case in consultation with the FBI.
