The trial date of the former Fort Worth police officer charged in the fatal shooting of #AtatianaJefferson has been set.
Originally scheduled to begin in November 2021, a judge set a new date for #AaronDean who will stand trial for the death of #AtatianaJefferson on January 10, 2022.
This comes more than two years after Jefferson was shot through a window, during a wellness check.
If you recall, Atatiana Jefferson was shot and killed on a Saturday morning in 2019, while she was inside a home visiting family. The officer responded to the call after a neighbor reported that the front door of the residence was open. From there, things took a very tragic turn.
Within minutes after the call was placed, police showed up at the scene and began searching the outside of the home. Body-cam footage of the officer who fired the fatal shots at Jefferson, shows him moving around the home, looking through a doorway and entering the backyard with a flashlight before firing. The officer yelled, “put your hands up! Show me your hands!” before shooting into the window, in less than 3 seconds.
Since her passing, Jefferson’s mother and father have both passed away. Her father died of an heart attack and her mother died two months after he did.
