| Atatiana Jefferson |
The Fort Worth, Texas, police officer who on Saturday fatally shot 28-year-old Atatiana Jefferson in her own home after a neighbor requested a wellness check at the residence has resigned, officials said.
Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus said Monday during a news conference that he intended to fire the officer, identified as Aaron Dean, but he resigned first. Dean allegedly shot Jefferson though a bedroom window around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. He and several other officers showed up to the house after a neighbor called the police department’s nonemergency line minutes earlier, expressing concern that the house’s front door was open and lights were on.
