Justice Served for Atatiana Jefferson | Dallas News

Fort Worth’s city council just approved an $11.25 million settlement for Atatiana Jefferson’s family, marking a rare moment of accountability after she was fatally shot by police in her home in 2019. The funds, still to be divided under court supervision, will prioritize her two nephews with trust accounts until they turn 18, while other relatives share the remainder. Her sister Ashley Carr called it unusual — and deeply needed — for a family to receive both criminal conviction and civil justice in such a case, though she stressed no amount can replace what was lost. The settlement brings cautious relief, but grief remains heavy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
