Former Officer Roy Oliver Indicted In The Murder of Jordan Edwards
Dallas County District Attorney announced that former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver was indicted in the death of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards.

Former Balch Springs, TX police officer, Roy Oliver, has been indicted in the murder of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards.
Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson announced that a grand jury indicted former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver in the death of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards.
Oliver was fired in May for violating department policies after police department officials reviewed body camera footage of the incident, which showed Oliver shooting his rifle into a moving vehicle that was traveling away from him and another officer.
Jordan Edwards, a high school freshman in Mesquite TX, was leaving the party with his two brothers and two other teenagers. Police arrived at the scene to investigate an underage drinking complaint when they heard unrelated gunshots and spotted the vehicle leaving.
Shots from Oliver’s rifle penetrated the front side passenger window, hitting Edwards in the head as he sat in the front passenger seat.
Johnson said Roy Oliver was also indicted on four charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a public official related to the other four teens who were in the car.
Oliver was charged with murder by the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office in May, less than a week after the shooting. He turned himself in and posted bond.
