Ft Worth police officer shoots woman to death inside her home

Sad and tragic
=======================

The father of Atatiana Jefferson, who was fatally shot in her home by a Fort Worth police officer in October, has died at 58.

Marquis Jefferson died of a heart attack Saturday evening at Methodist Charlton Medical Center in Dallas, Bruce Carter, a spokesman for Jefferson, told The Washington Post on Sunday. Carter said Jefferson was not ill before his heart attack although he had been overcome with grief since his daughter’s death.

“When you heard him talk about his daughter, you thought he was coping well because he always tried to have a smile,” Carter said. “But in the last three weeks, he just started wearing down day after day; he wasn’t his perky self.

“I didn’t know what a broken heart meant, but I feel like I’ve really witnessed a broken heart,” Carter added. The Jefferson family, meanwhile, must grieve another loss shortly after burying Atatiana.............
