An environmental activist died after raising hands and being shot from head to toe by police nearly two months ago near Atlanta, the person's family and attorneys said Monday.

The activist known as Tortuguita, whose full name is Manuel Esteban Pez Tern, suffered 14 gunshot wounds on Jan. 18, family attorneys said.

Tortuguita, 26, was at a peaceful protest and occupation of the South River Forest when gunfire erupted, loved ones have said.

The autopsy, conducted by a former state medical examiner, Dr. Kris Sperry, showed the fatal wound was a shot through Tortuguita's right eye, along with other wounds to the left upper chest, abdomen, arms and leg, lawyers said.
