A Texas man convicted of shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor dead during the 2020 riots is set to be pardoned.
Daniel Perry, a US Army Sergeant, was found guilty in April 2023 of murdering protestor Garrett Foster in Austin, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the parole board looked into his case and made a recommendation about a pardon just days later, with a unanimous approval vote coming in on Thursday from the board.
