Army Sergeant Convicted of Murdering BLM Protester in Texas

US army sergeant and Uber driver, Daniel Perry, has been found guilty of murdering Black Lives Matter protester, Garrett Foster, during a rally in Austin, Texas in 2020. Perry was acquitted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Perry's attorneys argued that he acted in self-defense after Foster approached his car with an AK-47 rifle, but prosecutors contended that Perry had other options. Evidence presented during the trial included Facebook messages and online searches related to protests and shootings. The verdict brought closure to Foster's family, while Perry's family expressed sorrow.
