The Daily Mail: Daniel Perry Is Convicted of Murdering Black Lives Matter Protester by Shooting Him Dead During July 2020 Riots

Daniel Perry 37, a 37 year old Uber driver and army sergeant was driving through downtown Austin on the night of July 25th, 2020. He ended up in the middle of a BLM march and then an altercation with protester Garrett Foster. Defense lawyers said that Foster raised as AK-47 at Perry and that Perry fired in self defense. Witnesses have said during the trial that Foster never raised his rifle at Perry. A jury found him guilty in their closing arguments. They insisted he had no choice but to shoot Foster five times as he approached Perry's car with an AK-47. Prosecutors said Perry had plenty of choices, including driving away.
