BREAKING: White Texas police officer found guilty of murder for fatally shooting black teen in car
Roy Oliver was convicted Tuesday in the death of 15-year-old high school freshman Jordan Edwards, who was in the passenger seat of a car leaving a house party when the officer opened fire in April 2017.
Oliver, who was fired from the Balch Springs Police Department in the Dallas suburbs after the shooting, testified last week that he felt he had no choice but to use deadly force.
