Last year Garrett Foster, an Austin, TX Black Lives Matter rioter, was shot and killed. Now, the alleged shooter has been indicted.<\/p>\n
A Travis County grand jury has decided to charge U.S. Army Sgt. Daniel Perry with murder, deadly conduct and aggravated assault in the shooting death of Foster on 25 July, 2020. He turned himself in to the Travis County Jail and posted a $300,000 bond, according to his attorney.<\/p>\n
Perry, an active-duty U.S. Army sergeant was working as a rideshare driver at the time of the deadly shooting.<\/p>\n
According to his lawyer, Perry dropped off a rideshare customer near Congress Avenue before turning onto Congress Avenue near Fourth Street. Perry, who said he did not know protests were happening that night, found himself surrounded by a group of protesters. Several of the protesters allegedly beat on Perry’s car.<\/p>\n
