ATLANTA - The trial of a second man charged in the shooting death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner began with jury selection Monday at the Fulton County Courthouse.

What we know:

Turner was killed on July 4, 2020, while sitting in the back seat of her mother’s Jeep near a Wendy’s in southwest Atlanta.

The fast-food restaurant had become the site of weeks of protests following the police killing of Rayshard Brooks, which included demonstrators setting the building on fire and armed groups blocking nearby roads.

Prosecutors say Turner’s mother encountered one of those armed groups when she attempted to drive through the area. That’s when, investigators allege, Julian Conley opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle, striking Turner in the head. She was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
