Daniel Perry has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after he was convicted of murder for fatally shooting an armed protester during a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin, Texas, in 2020.
Perry was convicted on April 7 on murder charges for killing Garrett Foster two-and-a-half years prior on July 25, 2020. Perry was working as a ride-share driver on the night of the shooting and had turned onto a street where Foster and dozens of other protesters were marching. After Foster approached Perry’s car carrying a rifle, the Army sergeant and part-time ride-share driver opened fire.
