Army Sergeant Who Fatally Shot BLM Protester in Texas Sentenced to 25 Years – By Associated Press (VOA News) / May 10, 2023
AUSTIN, TEXAS — A U.S. Army sergeant was sentenced to 25 years in prison Wednesday for fatally shooting an armed man during a Black Lives Matter protest in Texas, even after the state’s Republican governor said he wanted to pardon the man.
Daniel Perry, 36, was convicted of murder in April for killing 28-year-old Garrett Foster during the downtown Austin protest in July 2020.
“After three long years we’re finally getting justice for Garrett,” his mother, Sheila Foster, told the court.
“Mr. Perry, I pray to God that one day, he will get rid of all this hate that is in your heart,” she said.
