A grand jury will consider whether criminal charges should be brought against a driver who shot and killed a man during a Black Lives Matter protest last summer, the Travis County district attorney s office announced Friday.
Daniel Perry shot Garrett Foster, 28, in July 2020 an act that Perry s attorney said was in self-defense. Foster was carrying an assault-style rifle, which is legal in Texas under open carry laws, and approached the car after Perry drove down Congress Avenue where protesters were walking. Perry drew his own weapon and shot Foster, according to police.
Austin police later detained Perry, but did not arrest him.
