DALLAS — Aaron Dean, the now-former police officer charged in the 2019 fatal shooting of Atatiana Jefferson, took the stand Monday in his murder trial.
Dean is charged with fatally shooting Jefferson, a Black woman who was killed inside her Fort Worth, Texas, home on Oct. 12, 2019.The defense focused its questioning on what Dean learned in police academy training, specifically"shoot, don't shoot survival training."
Officers parked down the street from the home, Dean said. When asked why he didn't park in front of the house, he responded,"We don't want to give away our position to a criminal actor who might be on scene, it's for officer safety." He said he and Darch did not walk up the driveway of the home for similar reasons.
He said he believed it was"a possible burglary." He said he responded by examining"the whole structure for signs of forced entry."
