White US cop found guilty of murder in death of black teen

August 30, 2018

A Texas jury found a white police officer guilty of murder Tuesday for the shooting death of a 15-year-old African American boy -- a rare conviction resulting from a high-profile police shooting case. Roy Oliver fired five bullets into a car full of teens last year, killing Jordan Edwards while responding to a call of underage drinking at a party in a Dallas suburb. The trial jury also found the officer, who was reportedly fired from his job, not guilty of two aggravated assault charges.
