Check back regularly for updates on the murder trial of ex-Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean, who is accused of fatally shooting Atatiana Jefferson. On Oct. 12, 2019, Jefferson’s neighbor called a non-emergency number about 2:25 a.m. to report an open door at Jefferson’s home. Officer Dean and his partner arrived and went around the back of the house. Dean shot Jefferson through the window of the home after she raised a handgun and pointed it toward the backyard.
Dean was later arrested and charged with murder in Jefferson’s death. Jury selection in his trial wrapped up on Friday, December 2, in state District Judge George Gallagher’s Court in Fort Worth, Texas. Testimony is scheduled to begin Monday morning.
