The Texas police officer who on Saturday fatally shot Atatiana “Tay” Jefferson was arrested and charged with murder Monday, according to Tarrant County jail records.
Officer Aaron Dean resigned earlier Monday over his fatal shooting of Jefferson, a 28-year-old Black woman, in her own home. Dean shot Jefferson though a window of her home after a neighbor requested a wellness check at the residence.
Fort Worth police didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
