The Fort Worth, Texas, police officer who fatally shot a woman while she was babysitting her nephew over the weekend was charged with murder on Monday, jail records show.
Former officer Aaron York was being held at the Tarrant County Correction Center, the records show.
The arrest came just hours after Dean's resignation from the police force earlier Monday. Interim Police Chief Ed Kraus said at a press conference that he intended to end Officer Aaron Dean's employment, but that Dean tendered his resignation first.
Dean, who joined the department in April 2018, still faces possible civil rights violations, Kraus said.
Dean was initially placed on administrative leave following the killing of victim Atatiana Jefferson, 28. He has not been cooperating with investigators in the case, Kraus said.
