Original Message Fort Worth Woman Killed In Her Own Home By Police Doing Welfare Check Due To Her Front Door Being Open With Screen Door Shut

"The police officer, whose name has not been released, was in Atatiana Jefferson’s backyard around 2:25 a.m. on October 12 and shot her through her window, killing her, WFAA reported."

"The officer responded to a call that a door was open at the home in the 1200 block of East Allen Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas."

"The officer started out by standing outside the open front door, where the screen was shut, and then walked to the side of the house. The lights in the house were on inside when the officer arrived. The video does not show the officer announcing himself at the doorway or knocking.

"The officer opened a gate to the backyard, walked into the backyard, and shined a light on different parts of the exterior of the house. He saw a person watching him from inside the house and yelled from the backyard, “Put your hands up. Show me your hands!”

"The officer then shot through the window."


"According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office, Jefferson was in her bedroom when she was shot.

"The officer was responding to a call about an “open structure” (meaning an open door) that was made at 2:25 a.m. Both of the neighbor’s vehicles were in the driveway. Units were dispatched at 2:25 a.m., according to the police timeline shared in the raw video footage. The call was made because the neighbors are usually home at that time but the door is never open. Units arrived at the scene at 2:28 and 2:29.

"James Smith, the neighbor who made the call, told WFAA that he called a non-emergency police number to ask for a welfare check. He was concerned because the lights were on and the front door was open.

Smith said the officer’s response didn’t make sense. He told WFAA that there was no domestic violence and no arguing. He said: “nothing that they should have been concerned about as far as them coming with guns drawn to my neighbor’s house.”
