The 10 most-read stories of 2019 on Fox4News.com
DALLAS - It’s no surprise that the conviction of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was the most-read story of 2019 on Fox4News.com.
The trial was the culmination of a year’s worth of intense media coverage after the tragic September 2018 fatal shooting by Guyger of Botham Jean, an innocent man who was in his own apartment.
The story about Guyger being found guilty easily claimed the No. 1 spot on the list. A second Guyger story, her being sentenced to 10 years, ranked No. 7.
Another notable name from 2019 was Atatiana Jefferson, who was also innocently killed by a police officer in her own home. That story from October, involving Fort Worth PD, was No. 4 on the list.
The rest of the list is a mix of local and statewide stories that run the gamut from bizarre (Blue Bell ice cream licker) to heartbreaking (a child found dead after an Amber Alert).
