Rashaad Muhammad alleges severe medical neglect during his detention at Fulton County Jail for over two weeks starting August 11, 2025. He claims his condition deteriorated into sepsis and septic shock due to delayed or denied medical attention.
Muhammad was eventually hospitalized at Grady Memorial Hospital, where he fell into a coma for nearly two weeks. Complications from the infection resulted in multiple amputations. The charges against him were later dismissed.
