DALLAS — The trial of now-former police officer Aaron Dean in the 2019 fatal shooting of Atatiana Jefferson began Monday after several delays.
Jury selection began Monday with Judge George Gallagher saying he hoped 12 jurors and two alternates would be in place by Friday.
The department said that police received a call just before 2:30 a.m. to respond to her home on East Allen Avenue. Officials said the officers walked around the back of the house and that one of the officers observed a person through the rear window of the home and opened fire.
