FORT WORTH, Texas - The mother of a Texas woman fatally shot by a police officer has died in the house where her daughter was killed, an attorney for the family said. Yolanda Carr passed away Thursday morning in the Fort Worth home where an city officer shot her daughter, Atatiana Jefferson, in October, according to lawyer Lee Merritt. Jefferson, 28, had recently moved into her mother’s home to care for her when she was shot through a window by Officer Aaron Dean. Carr was hospitalized when her daughter was killed and had been missing a “critical” caregiver since, Merritt said. Dean, now 35, shot Jefferson through a back window after responding to an early morning call about an open front door.
