2:20 p.m.
A white former Texas police officer has been found guilty of murder for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager as he left a house party in a car full of teenagers.
Jurors convicted Roy Oliver on Tuesday in a Dallas County courtroom.
Oliver was fired from the Balch Springs Police Department days after the April 2017 shooting. Oliver killed 15-year-old Jordan Edwards when he fired into a moving car carrying five black teenagers leaving a local house party.
Edwards was in the front passenger seat.
Oliver testified that he opened fire after seeing the car move toward his partner.
