'No action we take can replace the loss suffered': Fort Worth police chief
A white Fort Worth, Texas, police officer was jailed on murder charges on Monday in the fatal shooting of Jefferson, a 28-year-old black woman, who was babysitting inside her home, the police department said.
Jefferson was killed on Saturday at about 2:30 a.m. when officer Aaron Dean fired a single shot through a window into her home as she cared for her 8-year-old nephew.
Dean was responding to a call from a concerned neighbor who said Jefferson's door was open. The officer resigned from the police department on Monday. "Aaron Dean was arrested by Fort Worth Police on Oct. 14. Dean has been charged with murder of Atatiana Jefferson. Dean is in the Tarrant County Jail," the Fort Worth Police said on Twitter.
Dean was being held on $200,000 bond.
