See the original story below:

Roy Oliver, the ex-Balch Spring, Texas police officer who fatally shot 15-year old teenager Jordan Edwards, has been arrested for murder.

Oliver, who was fired from the force on Tuesday, turned himself in at the Parker County Jail. His Bond was set at $300,000.

Jordan Edwards, who was a freshman in high school, was leaving a party with friends when he was shot in the head through the passenger side window of the vehicle by Oliver. The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office has ruled Edwards’ death as a homicide,

When the incident first happened, Oliver said the vehicle Edwards was in was “aggressively” backing up toward him and his fellow officers. However, this was soon disproven when the police body cam video showed the vehicle driving away as Oliver fired his gun.

If Oliver is convicted he could face life in prison.
