East Point police detective dies in surgery - WSB Atlanta
An East Point police detective and member of the SWAT team died in surgery Thursday. Detective Toure Heywood was an officer at Georgia State University and was run over by suspects during a traffic stop 12 years ago. Toure started out as a Marine, went on to be a corrections officer and then graduated from the police academy to be a cop at the GSU Police Department. Channel 2’s Liz Artz spoke with Toure in March about the incident. He was currently a detective with the East Point Police Department. "It was a Cadillac Catera. I remember the car got hit by the vehicle, went up in the air, hit head-on,” he told Channel 2’s Liz Artz. Toure’s stomach, liver, pancreas, upper bowel and lower bowel all needed to be replaced. The East Point Police Department says it is saddened by the news and is asking for prayers for Toure’s family.
