A Dallas County judge this week ruled the murder trial for a former Dallas police officer, who fatally shot a man in his own apartment, will take place in the county.

On Sept. 16, District Judge Tammy Kemp ruled the murder trial for former officer Amber Guyger, 31, will remain in Dallas, despite her defense lawyer’s efforts to move the case elsewhere.
