(CNN) A police officer charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Jonathan Price in Wolfe City, Texas, was fired on Thursday, city officials said. Wolfe City officer Shaun Lucas was "terminated for his egregious violation of the City's and police department's policies," a statement from Wolfe City said. Lucas was charged with murder earlier this week in connection with Price's death. The officer was responding to a report of a disturbance and a possible fight in progress Saturday at a convenience store in Wolfe City when he shot Price four times in the torso, the probable cause affidavit released by the Hunt County District Clerk said. Price, a 31-year-old Black man, was intervening in a domestic dispute and was never violent before Lucas shot him, said S. Lee Merritt, the attorney for Price's family.
