Won't work. Police operator
M873 with the address.
Uh, I'm calling about my neighbor.
OK, what's the address?
1203 E Highland Ave.
OK, 1203 E Allen Ave.
What's going on there?
Wherever front doors
have been opened since 10:00
o'clock and haven't seen anybody.
Moving around, it's not normal for them
to have go for the doors open this time.
I remember getting a call early
in the morning on that Saturday
that Atiana Jefferson was
killed and my source said.
You're not going to believe this.
We have a similar situation as Amber
Geiger. The trial for that
fire Dallas police officer,
Amber Geiger ended just 10 days ago with
a conviction and a 10 year sentence.
Geiger was off duty but still
in uniform when she killed
John inside his own apartment.
And I remember thinking, Oh no,
that that just can't be true.
So again, I remember the day
that my news director called me.
I just had finished anchoring
on the desk for that morning.
And she said, listen, we've got an
officer involved shooting in Fort Worth,
and we need you to go.
We need you to go right now.
When I got there, there were no officers,
no crime scene tape.
It was very quiet.
That street was very, very quiet.
And then I see one man across
the street come out on his porch,
and he's looking at us.
And he walked up toward me. And he was
very quiet, and he looked
very emotional and. Said I.
I called police last night.
He's like and now she's dead.
Justice no peace. Very
early on, the Fort Worth Police
Department did come out and say that
they were troubled by this shooting.
Apparently they never announced themselves.
They walked back behind the house
and Tatiana Jefferson heard some
noise and she had a weapon which
she was legally allowed to do.
And officer Aaron Dean shot and killed her.
A woman is inside her home.
She's playing video games with her nephew,
and and within moments she's going to
be dead through no fault of her home.
How did this college student,
this college graduate, end up in a
situation of being killed by police?
And it wasn't just a Tarrant County story.
It was. A North Texas story.
A Texas story.
A global story whose story,
for some people who were there,
there was some deep hurt.
You know, every time you go
into a trial you think ohh,
you know everything but you really don't.
We sure we've seen some of the body Cam,
we've heard the police radio traffic,
but I think we're going to learn
a lot more about the facts and
circumstances of that night.
I think that obviously they're going
to bring in the the witness and the
main witness in this case is Zion a
Tatiana Jefferson's nephew, who was in
the home and witnessed everything is
going to be. Very interesting to see
how the defense team defends this.
I think they're going to
boil it down to that moment.
He saw someone with a gun.
He feared for his life, so
he fired. I don't
know if he's going to take the stand.
Typically officers that have taken
the stand don't do well on the stand.
But also defense attorneys like to
put officers on the stand because
it gives them they're the only ones
that know what they were thinking.
So if he says I feared for my life,
I saw the gun.
The only person that's going
to be able to say that is him,
if that's going to be his defense.
I mean, certainly what happened
that night is shocking
and here we are now three years.
And in three years time.
Things boil up,
you know, things build.
And they said, you know,
justice needs to be served.
This young girl should
not have been shot.
This young girl is dead.
Her family, they're still
waiting for their day in court.
There have been so many delays,
but her sisters, Ashley and Amber,
they have attended every hearing in
this case and they are determined
to see it through to the end.
They want their day in court.
