The gunman who shot and killed a Black Lives Matter protester in Austin, Texas last week has been identified by his lawyer as an active-duty US Army sergeant.
Dallas-based law firm Broden & Mickelsen identified Daniel Perry as the solider who fatally gunned down 28-year-old Garrett Foster last Saturday, The Statesman reported.
Perry, 33, who has served a tour in Afghanistan, had been driving for a ride-share company at the time of the deadly incident, according to a statement from Perry’s attorney Clint Broden. He claims the shooting was in self-defense.
