The parents of Leonard Fortner, who was murdered at the Fulton County Jail, are suing the county, the sheriff and the county board of commissioners, saying they are responsible their son’s death. The complaint claims the staff left their son, who was a member of the LGBTQ+ community and was HIV-positive, in the general population when he should’ve been isolated for medical reasons. However, Fortner was left in the general population from February 2024 until April 4, 2024, when he was killed. The lawsuit, filed on the one-year anniversary of Fortner’s murder, also claims the man who stabbed Fortner, Edward Cherry, used a piece of the jail’s crumbling walls to kill Fortner. Cherry has since pleaded guilty in court and is serving a life sentence in prison.
