Daniel Perry, a former Army sergeant, was pardoned by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for killing a Black Lives Matter protester in Austin in 2020, for which he was serving a 25-year sentence.
Perry was convicted for the shooting of Garrett Foster, an Air Force veteran, during 2020 anti-racist protests, and had been in prison since 2023.
Abbott's pardon came after the unanimous decision by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant Perry a full pardon and restore his gun rights.
