Brayboy, Torrenzo

Tenure Summary

GPS records attribute two deaths to the Atlanta Transitional Center during Brayboy’s facility-lead tenure there. No lawsuits naming Brayboy as a defendant appear in the records. A $10,000 state settlement tied to an earlier Atlanta Transitional Center incident in 2019 predates Brayboy’s facility-lead assignment at that site.

What happened on their watch

Atlanta Transitional Center — Superintendent tenure, 2021–2023

The first recorded death on Brayboy’s Atlanta Transitional Center watch was Christopher Shane Green, 46, with an incident date of April 12, 2022. According to a Fulton County Medical Examiner investigative report, FCME case 2022-00861, obtained by GPS through an open-records request, Green had a medical history of hypertension and Hepatitis C and a documented substance-abuse history. The medical examiner did not perform an autopsy. GPS records code the death under cause-category 5, but the certified cause and manner had not yet been obtained from Georgia Vital Records, according to the file.

The second recorded death was Joel Bennett, 44, with an incident date of March 22, 2023. GPS records state that GDC recorded the death as an in-custody death at the Atlanta Transitional Center, but the Fulton County Medical Examiner reported no record for Bennett. GPS records note the possibility that the death was certified in another county or that no medical examiner or coroner inquiry occurred; the notes also cite O.C.G.A. § 45-16-24 as requiring a coroner’s inquiry into in-custody deaths. The cause remains unknown or pending in the provided record.

Separately, a Georgia Department of Administrative Services Risk Management settlement ledger shows a $10,000 state liability payout tied to an Atlanta Transitional Center incident on June 5, 2019, involving Jerry Sellers. That event predates Brayboy’s Atlanta Transitional Center facility-lead tenure and is not counted among the two deaths attributed to Brayboy’s watch.
