A former Fort Worth police officer, #AaronDean, was convicted of manslaughter in the shooting of #AtatianaJefferson. She was shot through her bedroom window.
The white police officer who shot and killed Jefferson when he fired a bullet through her bedroom window while responding to a call from a concerned neighbor was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in Texas on Thursday.
The October 2019 shooting occurred when Jefferson, who had been playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew, heard a noise and grabbed her gun as she went to look out her bedroom window.
Mr. Dean, who had been called by a neighbor who had reported open doors at the house late at night, yelled at Ms. Jefferson to put her arms up and immediately fired a single shot through her window.
The jury in Fort Worth did not convict the officer, Aaron Dean, on the murder charge that prosecutors had sought. He could face up to 20 years in prison after the two-week trial that took place. #BWLM💕
