Funeral Rescheduled For Fort Worth Woman Killed By Officer

(Fort Worth, TX) — The funeral for a woman shot and killed in her own home by a Fort Worth police officer has been successfully rescheduled.

After members of Atatiana Jefferson’s family reached a settlement in court on Monday, her funeral service is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at Concord Church in Dallas. The funeral had been planned for Saturday afternoon, but Jefferson’s father obtained a restraining order on Friday to prevent it. The squabbling relatives negotiated for seven hours in a probate court on Monday until they reached an agreement.

Former officer Aaron Dean is charged with Atatiana Jefferson’s murder.
