Roy Oliver, the former Balch Springs, Texas police officer who fatally shot 15-year-old honour roll student Jordan Edwards on April 29 last year, was found guilty of murder on Tuesday. Thirty eight-year-old Oliver was found not guilty of two counts of aggravated assault for firing shots into a vehicle of five teenagers.

Last year, Edwards was leaving a party with his older brother and three other friends in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb when they heard gunshots. Officers at the scene said they were responding to a call from “drunk teens.” The Balch Springs police chief noted Oliver, who was with a second officer, Tyler Gross, shot at the teens as the car drove away. One of the teens, a front seat passenger, was Edwards.
