TL;DR Summary

A Texas police officer, Daniel Sanchez, has been indicted on a felony charge of deadly conduct in connection with the fatal shooting of tech entrepreneur Rajan Moonesinghe. The incident occurred when police responded to a 911 call reporting a man firing a rifle into his own home. Moonesinghe was shot almost simultaneously with police orders to drop the gun. The officer's actions have divided Austin's law enforcement community, with the police department defending Sanchez's response as consistent with his training, while the district attorney criticized the department's statement and called for further charges. Moonesinghe's family is urging the presentation of clear video evidence to a new grand jury.
