A quick recap. In Austin on 7\/25, a black sedan drove through a “peaceful” BLM protest. As the car got stopped by the crowd, members of the protest swamped the car. At least one of those was armed with a rifle. Garrett Foster, who family say was a US Air Force veteran released from service early to care for his girlfriend, was fatally shot by the occupant of the sedan.<\/p>\n

The driver has now identified himself, through a letter to the Washington Post via his lawyer. Sgt. Daniel Perry is an active duty US Army soldier stationed at Fort Hood. He says he was driving for Uber that night and had just dropped off a client. After his car was swarmed by protestors, he said a man (he initially thought was law enforcement) approached with a rifle. Perry says he shot the man, now identified as Foster, in self defense when he saw Foster raising his rifle.<\/p>\n

I’m sure there will be a lot more to this story. As always, we’ll keep you updated.<\/p>\n
