Family Demands Justice After Police Killing of Atatiana Jefferson

A Fort Worth, Texas police officer allegedly shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in her Fort Worth home Saturday. The 28-year-old Jefferson was reportedly playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew when she was fatally shot by officer Aaron Dean. Jefferson, who was black, was a pharmaceutical equipment salesperson who was considering going to medical school. Protests broke out in Dallas Sunday as Jefferson became the latest example of deadly police brutality against black people. Dean was reportedly responding to a welfare check, and his reasons for firing on Jefferson are unclear; interim Police Chief Ed Kraus announced Dean's resignation Monday. Right-leaning sources and left-leaning sources reported similarly, with left-leaning sources detailing Jefferson's life and career aspirations more consistently.
