 Atatiana Jefferson was a 28-year-old pre-medical graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana. She sold medical pharmaceutical equipment from home while studying in order to apply to medical school. Jefferson moved into her home in Fort Worth, Texas to care for her ill mother and young nephew. In the early morning of October 12, 2019, Jefferson was up late playing video games with her nephew. After a neighbor called a non-emergency number stating that Jefferson's front door was open, the police arrived at her home. Jefferson came up to her window to observe police outside her home with her handgun. Officer Aaron Dean had walked into the backyard and within seconds of seeing Jefferson, a single shot was fired through her bedroom window by Dean, fatally hitting her. Her eight-year-old nephew was present in the room the entire time. He saw her fall. Jefferson was later pronounced dead at the scene. Two days after the incident, Dean resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department and was arrested on a murder charge. Today, standing up for the rights of those who are marginalized and discriminated against in our communities and nation is more important than ever.
