Fort Worth woman shot, killed by police in her home
Atatiana Jefferson was fatally shot early Saturday inside a bedroom of her Fort Worth home by a police officer responding to a request for a welfare check at the house. The officer, who has not been publicly identified, was walking around the house and had walked into the backyard when he shot once through a window of the house, body-camera footage shows.
Just before firing his gun, the officer yelled, “Put your hands up. Show me your hands!”
Jefferson died at the scene.
The police officer fired within three seconds of telling the woman to put her hands up.

Has she been forgotten or what?
I NEVER TALK,LOOK AT A COP, I’ve turned my back on COPS after RODNEY KING, RIP ERIC GARNER &SANDRA BLAND.
Its coming the community will turn and mow down police….. 100,000 to 1,000
He can also get a job with the Montgomery county sheriff’s office in Christiansburg Va. Afterwards
Dee ofocer is a keeler
I forsee how the dreaded Q.I. will exonarate the killer cop of any wrongdoing. Grim future awaits if the QI stand.
This has to stop my kids open my front door all the time. This could of been me. White police officers are trigger happy they way they think is one less n*. He should of knocked loudly on the door and then enter or called for assistance
Now people won’t call the police….🤦🏼♂️
why didn’t she drop her gun??????? The police are innocent!!!
In fort worth, its now a crime to be at home.
Who wants to place bets on the punishment? I have $100 on paid leave.
Release the names of the officer why not when you release the name of the victim. Officers should have pulled up in front of the house, lights on, went to the front door and identified himself. Not snuck around the back and drawed his fun expecting to shoot someone. You’re only supposed to fire your gun when your life as an officer is imminently in danger. There was no danger. It was a wrongful death dude to policy misconduct. Name that officer. And charge him. It’s not right.
2:00 he feels a "little weight" for making the call? He led the police to believe that someone had broken in to his neighbors house, and the police showed up ready to react to a home invasion involving a child. She would be alive today if her neighbor had bothered to stop by and say hello instead of calling the police to report a home invasion when he saw the door open and the lights on. Calling the police is dangerous
SAY HER NAME! More tyrants killing people for NO reason.
I would never call a police officer to handle my own problems
Won’t give the cop’s name for fear of retaliation by the public.
So what’s suppose to happen to this cop nothing??? Really??? Like he was charged and was in jail. his bond was $200,000, that he got out on, and so now what’s happens nothing??? he just go free and another family have to deal with the lost of a love one due to the actions of a cop who decided to use his weapon in deadly force. ??? Like so over it.
🙌30 to 40 years in jail America is time if you don’t🌎⌛
All pigs must die.
Jello biafra for president… NOW
Describe him as a WHITE MAN, pure Zionist lies.
The sad thing about this is that the neighbor called the police to check and make sure she was ok and then this happens. That trust between the community and the police only becomes more separated than before.
Strong with the weak and weak with the strong… Congratulations.
@americasnavy @usnavy @usairforce @marines ALLPD. there dead to there own D’NA
Trigger Happy Cops at it again I’m tired of this, I don’t even know what say anymore.
The true culprit here is the moronic neighbour who deliberately and with malicious aforethought called the police to perform a check on the murdered women’s health whilst fully aware that involving the pigs in a neighbours life cannot ever end well for the person’s health.
Again, one example of how unskilled US police are really. How do these so-called police officers even call themselves policemen. It’s no wonder that people in America are about to shoot police and do not blame them for it, maybe they also deserve to be killed. Everyone knows that American police are the biggest joke in the world. Hope someone kills this police and his whole family.
So he just gets to resign? He should be in a cell.
The COP will beat this,He feared for his LIFE….Mark my WORDS!!!
I saw the video Sunday and she had a gun pointed at the officer and before he shot, he yelled gun. Thats been deleted from the videos I’ve seen since then!
Ridiculous
Police and politicians are public servants, they consistently forget that.
So sad..She was related to someone I knew..When will this end?? I’m sick of hearing cases like this.
He called cops so his neighbour would be "safe"?
Brothas and Sistas listen….
.
Have any of Y’all noticed that they QUICK to show the black neighbor’s face all over the news but we don’t know who the cop is AT ALL !!! no name OR face. I think TWO things are going on here, And I pray we don’t fall for it. #1 They wanna put blame on the neighbor for calling not the cop, that’s why they KEEP showing his face. #2 They not revealing the cops identity to give him time to ERASE any and all of his RACIST posts off social media.
This is madness, gone were the days when you knock on your neighbor’s door and asked how they’re doing.
Did this really even happen?
judge: officer, why did you enter the house at night and shoot sleeping people
officer: They could wake up, get a gun and shoot me
judge: officer acquitted
Don’t ever call or trust the cops. Period. Especially if your a person of color.
I live in Germany. I always leave a door open all day and night in summer. I do not expect ever to be shot or invaded. USA sucks!
officer’s name is Aaron Dean
You can expect the coroner’s report : ‘ Died of underlying heart condition and possible intoxication"
Why is it when a cop is shot and killed 10 minutes later they give a news briefing to inform the whole world. What about justice for the victims that are being terrorized by cops? When will this end? Enough is enough!! This woman graduated college with a degree, took time off to care for her sick Mama who by the way was in the hospital at the time. So sad, my heart is broken. Sending out prayers for her family 🙏🙏🙏
this is just as bad as Bre Taylor….
Show me your hands 1 2 3 CLAP!
apparently the police officer was told there was a robbery and was not told there was a welfare check. This is an issue with dispatch’s poor communication. There is a different protocol when it comes to robbery. A big difference. Things would have been different if information was related to the police officer correctly.
KILLING Our QUEENS,THE TIME has COME…
I get nervous whenever I see a cop car..not because I am doing anything wrong just because of how easy it would b for a cop to get away with killing me or my family.
And people wonder why Micah Johnson did what he did. Pfft. Looks like Texas cops need another reminder.
Atatiana Koquice Jefferson, a 28-year-old black woman, has been shot dead by a white police officer in Fort Worth, Texas, the US.
The shooting on early Saturday occurred inside a home in Fort Worth, Texas.
Police arrived at the house after a neighbour called the non-emergency police number, noticing Jefferson’s doors were open and the lights were on, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Jefferson, who was playing video games with her nephew, heard a commotion and went to the window — where she was shot by a white police officer standing outside.
Body camera footage shows the officer entering the home using a flashlight and spotting someone inside standing near a window and telling her, "Put your hands up — show me your hands," before shooting seconds later. At no point does he identify himself as an officer.
The police officer, who was called by the neighbour to check on the Jefferson’s residence opened fire on Jefferson, killing her without warning her properly.
Police said the evidence would be passed on to the district attorney "to determine the final outcome."
The officer in the shooting, who has been with the police department for about 18 months, was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the incident.
Lee Merritt, an attorney for Jefferson’s family, said Jefferson had been babysitting her 8-year-old nephew at the time of the shooting.
Marquis Jefferson, the victim’s father, described her death as senseless. "That’s my one and only daughter. I’ll never forget that."
Analysts believe racial profiling, particularly of black people, is consolidated in US society.
