The 11-year-old nephew of a Black woman fatally shot by a white Texas police officer says his aunt had a gun but didn't raise it to point at the officer.
Defense attorney Bob Gill entered Fort Worth Star-Telegram front pages as evidence in the pre-trial motion to move former Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean's murder trial out of Tarrant County on Monday, Dec. 5, 2022, in Fort Worth, Texas. Judge George Gallagher denied the motion. Dean fatally shot Atatiana Jefferson, a Black woman, through a window of her own Fort Worth home in 2019.
Dean quit and was charged with murder two days after killing the 28-year-old while responding to a call about an open front door on Oct. 12, 2019. “She just held it next to her side, she just like, she didn’t point it up, she just kept it next to her,” he told prosecutors, who said the child previously said his aunt had pulled the gun up “a little bit.”
