Construction crews used an excavator to demolish the charred remains of the University Avenue restaurant. It is not clear who ordered Tuesday's demolition, which comes a little more than a week after demonstrators who had camped out at the site following Brooks' death were forced off the property. The Wendy's became ground zero for protests after Brooks was shot in the parking lot following an attempted DUI arrest in the drive-thru line June 12. The restaurant was set on fire the following day during one of those demonstrations. Garrett Rolfe, the officer who fired the deadly shots, was charged with murder and fired from the department. He is free on $500,000 bond. For weeks, protesters remained at the torched restaurant and refused to leave until demands for police reform and a memorial to Brooks' memory were met. That changed when city leaders sent officers to clear the site July 6 in response to the killing of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner, who was shot across the street from the Wendy's during a violent July 4 weekend in Atlanta.
