Daniel Perry was an Army sergeant stationed at Fort Hood at the time of this incident. From his perspective, BLM protestors surrounded his vehicle and even pounded his hood. Garrett Foster, one of the people near Perry’s vehicle, pointed his AK-47 at Perry. Naturally, Perry’s desire for self-defense, and ingrained reflexive fire abilities, pulled his firearm out and neutralized Foster. Police questioned him, then let him go that night. However, a grand jury indicted him for murder and aggravated assault.<\/p>\n

According to police, the night of July 25, 2020, Perry was driving for Uber in downtown Austin to make extra money and came across a large group of protesters illegally blocking city streets as was common in Austin and elsewhere during the weeks of rioting.<\/p>\n

Perry’s defense team alleges that the protesters encircled his car and began pounding on his vehicle. Among the protestors was 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was armed with an AK-47.<\/p>\n

According to Perry, Foster raised the firearm at him, prompting him to open fire with a handgun he legally carried for self-defense. Attorney for Perry Doug O’Connell told Fox News, “When Garrett Foster pointed his AK-47 at Daniel Perry, Daniel had two tenths of a second to defend himself. He chose to live.”<\/p>\n

O’Connell added, “It may be legal in Texas to carry an assault rifle in down town Austin. It doesn’t make it a good idea. If you point a firearm at someone, you’re responsible for everything that happens next.”<\/p>\n

Perry drove away from the scene to a safe location and called 911 to report what happened. He was interviewed by officers that night and released, but a grand jury returned an indictment for murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon a year later.<\/p>\n

The well-respected lead investigator who is nicknamed the “godfather of the homicide unit,” Detective David Fugitt, claimed in an August 2021 sworn affidavit that prosecutors under Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, who has been funded by George Soros, forced him to remove exculpatory evidence from his grand jury presentation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
