DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A DeKalb County grand jury is currently hearing testimony in the police shooting that killed a naked man.
Air Force veteran Anthony Hill was walking around his apartment complex in Chamblee before the police gunfire on March 9.
Investigators say Hill lunged at officer Robert Olsen.
While no one disputes Hill ignored Olsen's order to stop, the civil grand jury's recommendation could come down to whether he charged the officer in a threatening manner, as alleged by police.
Hill's girlfriend, Bridget Anderson, told Channel 2 Action News he was bipolar. Two weeks before the shooting, Anderson said Hill stopped taking his psychiatric medication.
"The side effects of the medicine were just giving him a lock jaw. He often complained that he had a swollen tongue," said Anderson.
Anderson says she does not know what triggered Hill's bizarre behavior leading up the shooting.
Anderson described cellphone video taken of Hill minutes before the shooting.
"He was walking like a cave man. He was in another place, a different world. It's hard to look at, cause it wasn't him," said Anderson.
