FORT WORTH, Texas — Prosecutors and defense lawyers closed their cases Tuesday in the murder trial of former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean, who fatally shot a Black woman in her mother’s home more than three years ago.
Lawyers will give closing arguments Wednesday morning, and the Tarrant County jury will begin deliberations, state District Judge George Gallagher said. Jurors will be sequestered until they reach a verdict, Gallagher said during jury selection.
Dean, who is white, shot Atatiana Jefferson through her bedroom window when the officer responded to a call at the East Fort Worth home in the early morning hours of Oct. 12, 2019.
