ATLANTA — The family of a man who was killed in a “tragic accident” are set to hold his funeral on Monday morning.

Cornelius Taylor was killed on Jan. 16 after the clearing of a homeless camp in Atlanta in the Sweet Auburn district.

Taylor’s family is set to hold his funeral at Ebenezer Baptist Church at 11 a.m. A horse-drawn carriage will carry his coffin to City Hall so that people there “can see who they killed,” said his sister, Darlene Chaney.

A public works spokesperson called Taylor’s death a “tragic accident.”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that cities across the country can enforce bans on homeless camping. Solutions are scarce amid soaring rents, natural disasters and an influx of migrants that drove homelessness up 18%.

“Atlanta is the leader in so much,” said civil rights lawyer Mawuli Mel Davis, who is working with the family to investigate. “We’re the leader in movies, we’re the leader in music. We’re the leader in civil rights and destinations. “Why can’t we lead the rest of the country in how to treat the unhoused humanely?” Davis said.

A rally was held on Jan. 23. at Atlanta City Hall where community leaders, residents and supporters called for justice for Taylor. The attendees also demanded changes to be made regarding how the city’s homeless population are treated.

Atlanta city leaders recently discussed making changes to protocols for how homeless encampments are cleared.

A vote is expected Monday on a plan that would put a 45-day moratorium on homeless encampment clearings in Atlanta until more procedures can be reviewed by city officials.
