Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Calls for a Federal Civil Rights Investigation following the Killing of Atatiana Jefferson in her Home
Jackson Lee—“I call on the United States Department of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation of Atatiana Jefferson’s killing to determine how and to what extent Atatiana’s civil rights were violated. While the shooter has resigned from his position as an officer of the Fort Worth Police Department and he has been charged with murder, the shameful and sad reality is that none of this will bring back Atatiana to her loving family. For Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson and countless innocent others whose lives were taken too soon and wrongly, law enforcement must develop and vigorously implement methods to limit the loss of life of innocent individuals. My heartfelt sympathies are with Atatiana’s family at this time. I know that if we could bring back Atatiana, we would. But we cannot. We can only hope her death was not in vain. Until that day and beyond, may she rest in peace.”
