and two other teens. Police ar-
rived at the scene in Balch
Springs, a suburb about 15 miles
east of downtown Dallas, to in-
vestigate an underage drinking
complaint when they heard un-
related gunshots and spotted the
vehicle leaving.
Shots from Oliver’s rifle
pierced the front passenger win-
dow, hitting Edwards in the
head as he sat in the front seat.
Johnson said Oliver also was
indicted on four charges of ag-
gravated assault with a deadly
weapon by a public official relat-
ed to the other four teens who
were in the car.
Lee Merritt, an attorney who
represents Edwards’ family, said
the indictments are just “one
step on the road to justice for
Jordan Edwards and Jordan’s
family.”
‘We’re looking forward to a
conviction and proper sentenc-
ing,” Merritt said, adding he
would consider anything that
doesn’t involve serious jail time
as less than adequate.
Oliver’s attorney, Jim Lane,
did not immediately return a

Department charged Oliver

accused of displaying a gun dur-
ing a traffic accident. Oliver was
off duty in Dallas when another
vehicle rear-ended his and, ac-
cording to a police report, he
pulled his service weapon and
kept it pointed at the ground.
A Dallas officer who re-
sponded to that incident didn’t
file charges, but officials with the
district attorney’s office said last
month that it “showed a pattern
ofbehavior.”
The district attorney’s office
asked for Oliver’s previous bond
to be increased, saying he was
considered a danger to the com-
munity. Oliver paid bond in the
two charges for the off-duty Dal-
las incident and the increased
bond for the murder charge in
June.
