Former Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean looks towards his attorneys during the second day of his murder trial on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, in Fort Worth, Texas. Dean is accused of fatally shooting Atatiana Jefferson in 2019 during a welfare check. – A former Texas police officer testified in his murder trial Monday that he made mistakes but fatally shot a Black woman through a rear window of her home in 2019 while staring down the barrel of a handgun she was pointing at him.
On cross examination, Dean, now 38, acknowledged that he didn't say he was police nor mention the gun before shooting and also didn't tell another officer about the weapon before they moved into the house. Since then, Dean's case was repeatedly postponed amid lawyerly wrangling, the terminal illness of Dean’s lead attorney and the COVID-19 pandemic. Tarrant County prosecutors rested their case Wednesday after about two and a half days of testimony.
There, Dean fired a single shot through the window a split-second after shouting at Jefferson, who was inside, to show her hands. On cross examination, Dean acknowledged entering private property by going into the backyard and that he lingered in front of the “fatal funnel” of the darkened window. He said he saw Jefferson's gun but “never actually saw her hands.”before he pulled the trigger and didn’t say anything about the weapon as they rushed in to search the house.
