Revised to include details from a news conference.
A family-violence charge against Dallas activist Dominique Alexander has been dismissed, his organization, Next Generation Action Network, announced Monday.
Alexander was indicted in 2019 on a felony charge of continuous violence against the family. Dallas County court records show the case was dismissed Friday.
Alexander had denied the allegations, saying at the time that the indictment had “no merit.”
He was charged with one felony and one misdemeanor after he was accused of shoving and attempting to strangle his former partner, Keyaira Saunders, the Dallas Morning News reported.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Saunders signed an affidavit saying she would not testify or participate in the case, adding that she felt betrayed by the way the Dallas Police Department handled it.
As an activist in Dallas, 31-year-old Alexander speaks on behalf of families of victims of violence and has been a leader of protests in the city.
Alexander organized protests denouncing the shooting of Botham Jean by Amber Guyger, and he participated in protests in Dallas over police brutality in summer 2020, the Dallas Morning News reported.
