Former Dallas police officer Christopher Hess, 42, stands trial in the fatal shooting of mother-of-two Genevive Dawes, 21. Prosecutors said he went way over the line in firing numerous shots at a vehicle in which the victim was a driver. Another cop also opened fire, but only once, and was not charged. The two police officers fired a total of at least 13 shots. Dawes was struck multiple times, sustaining wounds to her neck, arms, chest, and even her right earlobe. Hess faces a charge of aggravated assault by a public servant. If convicted, he could be sentenced to between five and 99 years in prison. The shooting happened on January 18, 2017. Officers responded to a call regarding a vehicle, which they suggested might have been stolen. Dawes and her boyfriend were sleeping inside when officers confronted them. Officers opened fire after Dawes started moving the vehicle in reverse, bumped a patrol car, drove forward and hit a fence, and finally went in reverse one more time. The boyfriend survived the incident.
