According to CNN, a neighbor called a non-emergency police number after he noticed that Jefferson’s front door was open and the lights were on. Body cam footage released from the Fort Worth Police Department shows the officers searching the outside perimeter of the house. One of them approaches a closed window and shouts, “Put your hands up! Show me your hands!” before opening fire less than a second later. The officer does not identify himself as police at any time in the footage.
