How they died
Deadly force
According to Balch Springs police, officers responded to a report of intoxicated teenagers on a residential street at 11 p.m. Saturday. Neighbors said a large house party was underway at the time. Police say when officers arrived on the street, they heard gunfire and then a car filled with passengers backed towards them. Jordan Edwards, 15, was shot and killed inside the car by officer Roy Oliver. Cameras suggest the police story was not true. Later, a Dallas County jury found Oliver guilty of murder. Police alleged vehicular assault.
