The Incident and Its Aftermath
Daniel Perry, a former Army sergeant, was involved in a deadly altercation during a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin, Texas, in July 2020. While working as an Uber driver, he unintentionally found himself near the protest where he encountered armed individuals, including Garrett Foster, who approached his vehicle brandishing an AK-47. Perry, believing his life was in danger, fatally shot Foster, claiming he acted in self-defense. Despite Perry's assertion that he had no intention of participating in the protest, he faced murder charges led by a district attorney who was accused of politically motivated action, resulting in a conviction and a sentenced prison term of 25 years.
