Atatiana Koquice Jefferson, a 28-year-old African American woman, was shot and killed inside her Fort Worth, Texas home on October 12, 2019. Officers responded in the early morning after a neighbor reported Jefferson’s front door was open. Officer Aaron Dean fired through a window while Jefferson was inside the house with her 8-year-old nephew.

Body camera footage shows an officer shouting Put your hands up! Jefferson’s nephew says she was holding a handgun; a firearm was found near her body. The officers did not announce their presence and Jefferson was unaware they were there until she was shot.

Jefferson was a pre-medical graduate student who worked in human resources and had moved back home to care for her mother and nephew. Her death prompted public protests and renewed calls for police reform.

Did anyone in Fort Worth know Atatiana or have information about what happened that night?
