Attorneys for the former Fort Worth police officer accused of murdering Atatiana Jefferson have subpoenaed the Fort Worth Mayor and other city officials for the first day of the trial on November 16th.
Attorneys for the former officer, Aaron Dean, issued orders late last week for Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and city council member Chris Nettles to appear as defense witnesses.
The Fort Worth police officer Dean responded to a report from a neighbor about an open door at Jefferson’s house in October 2019 and shot at her through a back window without announcing himself as an officer, according to police body camera footage. Jefferson had a gun, police said at the time.
