A group of activists are camping out on the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn until Thursday. They say their message is more important than their comfort, as temperatures plunged overnight. 

They're calling for justice for Anthony Hill's family. The Air Force veteran died in March when he was shot by DeKalb County officer Robert Olsen.  Hill was naked and unarmed.  Olsen maintains he felt his life was in danger when Hill lunged at him.

The District Attorney will seek a felony murder and aggravated assault indictment against Olsen.

Family members say Hill suffered from mental illness.  His girlfriend, one of the activists, hopes to raise awareness about mental health.
