The white Fort Worth police officer accused of shooting a black woman inside her home over the weekend, killing her, has been jailed on a murder charge, online court records revealed Monday. "My intent was to meet with him today to terminate his employment with the Fort Worth Police Department. Dean's letter read: "Effective immediately I am tendering my resignation from the Fort Worth Police Department." "Our welfare check turned into a death, and that should never have happened," Fort Worth City Councilwoman Kelly Allen Gray told the newspaper. Fort Worth police said in a statement that after "perceiving a threat, the officer drew his duty weapon and fired one shot, striking the person inside the residence."
