FORT WORTH, Texas — The Latest on the fatal police shooting of a black woman inside a home in Fort Worth :Fort Worth’s interim police chief says he expects a “substantial update” by Tuesday on whether a former police officer will be criminally charged in the shooting death of a black woman inside her home.
Interim Chief Ed Kraus said Monday that if the officer, Aaron Dean, had not resigned, he would have been fired. Fort Worth police have not yet identified the officer who fatally shot Jefferson but planned a press conference for later Monday. Members of the community have brought tributes to the home where Atatiana Jefferson was killed early Saturday by an officer who was responding to a neighbor’s report of an open door. On Monday morning, a dozen bouquets lay near the door and walkway of the home, which is next door to a mosque.
A white police officer who fatally shot a 28-year-old black woman inside her Texas home is set to be interviewed by investigators as questions and outrage grow over the shooting.
That’s a good start. Now arrest him, charge him and put him on trial
Why show the gun in this video?
I can’t believe this is happening again 😣
Calm down! There is a thing called an investigation and then charges are filed. Give him his day in court before you publicly execute him!
Not good enough!
... and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, right? Right?
Not enough
He murdered that poor woman.
I feel sorry for the family. The police officer needs to be tried. BUT the real problem is Police Departments and cities. They don't vet or train properly, Little to no psychiatric evaluations It all boils down to MONEY. Easier for someone to die then spend.
Why does the headline focus on the colours of the people? Its irreverent
Body cam please
Want to hear full story
That’s cool but shouldn’t he be facing capital murder charges right about now?
How is that MotherFucker not already in jail awaiting trial, you better beleive that if i kill a cop i dont get to go home and chill for a few weeks until the DA decides to press charges or not.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
why there wasn’t a second or third officer on site before the inspection of the property? Lone star state doesn’t mean officer must operates alone.
MikePerryavatar He’s just going to move on the a new town full of black people he can shoot if he isn’t held accountable for his actions
Time for charges - murder!!!!
Not enough.
What about FW Police Chief informing killer will be prosecuted? Blacks in Texas are no longer safe while driving or at home. Shoot first without warnings seems to be new policy of Police 👿
Tired of the 'perceived threat' defense when racial fear, incompetence and cowardice are what cause Black lives to be taken unnecessarily. Being Black in America is a perceived threat by some White people. Firing isn't enough. Long jail sentences with make behaviors change.
And by the close of business today should be charged with murder.
When are charges coming then?
Okay STREETZ... 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 DO YOUR MFing JOB & GET THIS STREET JUSTICE Going Thoughhh!!!!! LetsssGO
Don't past JAIL!!!!
F B I COME INVESTIGATE THIS BLACK LADY'S MURDER. FORT WORTH AND DALLAS ARE NOT VIRGINS TO BLACK MURDERS BY COPS. INVESTIGATE BOTH POLICE DEPARTMENTS.. BEFORE ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE....
Trump will says he's a good man and then hire him .
Oh, then everything’s fine now.
Now he will be able to collect benefits...And the cover up continues
A person was inside her apartment. She was sitting near the window. The officer found those facts constituted a 'threat'to his life and shot and killed her...without even announcing his presence. If this is not a crime, no citizen is safe. DallasPD fortworthpd
The phrase you were looking for was 'Arrested and charged with murder'
When is he getting arrested? And if he resigned, does that mean the police union won't fight tooth and nail to help him beat a murder rap?
But is he being arrested and charged for murder? Or is his resignation going to used to say that 'he was remorseful for an 'professional error' or 'lapse of judgment'?
must be nice to have that privilege
He should be in prison!
Resigned? They should be thrown in jail
Is he still going to get punished? He can’t just resign and not have to worry.
Remember that even though Texas is an open-carry state, it only applies to white people. White people open carrying are patriotic and exercising their 2nd amendment rights; black people open carrying must be on their way to or coming from committing a crime. DoubleStandards
Unless she was literally holding the gun in hand and pointed it at him. They was no reason for the officer to shoot and kill her.
Strike 1.
He should be in jail. He is a dangerous person.
I would hope so!!!!! The bigger question is why hasn’t the officer been arrested yet on murder charges? WTF
So if I 'accidentally ' shoot a cop, I can quit my job at Twitter and it will all be okay? FtWorth
African-American is the term, not black
It’s a start ... now charge them.
And was it racially motivated or are you injecting a narrative without proof?
He should be in jail on murder charges, and fortworthpd should not be allowed to influence this investigation
Imagine being in your own home, minding your business and getting killed by the very force created to protect you!!
Has he been aquitted yet?
he should be tried for murder!
Good
He needs to be under the jail. Like forever. No parole no good behavior no nothing.
To run away. Flee
And arrested, right?
