Atatiana Jefferson, 28, Shot Through Window by Fort Worth Officer During Welfare Check

Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was shot and killed through her bedroom window by Fort Worth officer Aaron Dean during a welfare check on October 12, 2019. A neighbor had called a non-emergency line because Jefferson's door was open late at night. Body camera footage showed Dean sneaking around the side of the house and shouting 'put your hands up' before immediately firing through the window. Jefferson was playing video games with her nephew. Dean resigned and was charged with murder; trial proceedings faced multiple delays. The case highlighted dangers of police wellness checks in Black communities.
