According to Dean's original arrest affidavit, Jefferson was inside a bedroom playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew moments before the shooting. The 8-year-old boy told police his aunt heard noises outside and that she grabbed her handgun.
Bodycam video from Dean's perspective showed the former officer walking around the home, shining a flashlight into a window and shouting "Put your hands up! Show me your hands!" and less than a second later firing a shot. Investigators confirmed that Dean did not identify himself as an officer at any point. Less than three weeks after Jefferson's murder, and nearly two months before the grand jury decision, the judge presiding over Dean's case — David Hagerman — issued a gag order surrounding the proceedings. Hagerman's order prevents anyone connected with the case from making statements about witnesses, evidence or any opinion about Dean's guilt or innocence.
