Dallas Texas police Officer Amber Guyger, whom authorities say fatally shot a black man last week in an apartment she mistook for her own

It was revealed that Amber Guyger was on the wrong floor and wrong apartment that she said she thought was hers when she encountered Botham Jean, 26, in the South Side Flats apartment complex in Dallas around 10 p.m. local time Thursday.

Botham Jean was in his own apartment when he was murdered by officer Guyger.
Guyger is free and has not been charged while the Texas Rangers are investigating.

Quote: Dallas police tell me the just off shift officer who shot and killed a man in his own apartment, was on the WRONG FLOOR. HER apartment was on another floor. Her key didn’t work in the door. Shooting happened shortly after resident opened his own door.

Thursday’s shooting occurred after Guyger was returning home in uniform from a 12-hour shift, according to police. Guyger allegedly entered an apartment she thought was hers, and killed a man she didn’t recognize, Dallas’ FOX 4 reported. Afterward, she called 911, police said.

Responding officers found Jean badly wounded. He was transferred to a hospital and died later that evening.
Jean was a businessman born in St. Lucia, a Caribbean island nation where he and his family held positions in government. He had recently graduated from Harding University in Arkansas and had been working in Dallas since 2016.

Quote: The Texas Rangers have postponed seeking a warrant on manslaughter charges against an officer who shot and killed a man in Dallas, police said Saturday. Police also identified the officer as Amber Guyger, a four-year veteran of the department assigned to the Southeast Patrol Division. The decision comes one day after Dallas Police Chief Ulysha Renee Hall said police were pursing a manslaughter warrant against the officer in a case she described as having "more questions than answers."

I think there is more to this story and I don't believe this officer thought the apartment of Botham Jean was hers. If this was anyone else but a police officer, they would be in custody right now.
