TX - Botham Shem Jean, 26, killed when police officer entered wrong apartment, Dallas, Sept 2018

Or smell of dog poop.

I wonder if she had a nanny for the dog. Where I live, we consider leaving a dog alone for over 8 hours animal abuse.

She needs to be fired. Would you want her to continue to carry a weapon? And be on an "Elite" force?

I have seen teachers fired for posting a picture of themselves in a swimsuit on Facebook.

I have seen officers be fired because of Domestic violence calls to their home.

1. This shooting was not in the line of duty.
2. She does not merit Administrative Leave with pay indefinitely.

I would agree in an apartment.
In a house with a doggie door to go to the back yard, or a garage to enter it's different. An apartment? That's not okay. I have 2 dogs, one of whom is old and not very active. I wouldn't even leave her home alone that long.

Really if she has a dog that raises even MORE questions. No mention of worrying, not hearing, not smelling, not seeing, thinking the dog had been contained, finding the dog, thinking the dog had been killed.... how is the dog not mentioned.

I realize not everybody treats their dogs like royalty like I do. But there is no mention of the dog in her statement. Seriously? How?

I with really like to know if she lives alone or with a partner.

In this article, it shows Botham’s door number in the hallway to the side of his door. You cannot miss it when you are at the door. All of them are lit up in that complex.

I would presume she lives alone, otherwise she wouldn't be surprised to see someone in the apartment right? I presume she was the ONLY person with a key to her apartment for her to immediately jump to assuming a burglar.

Sorry, I forgot to add this when I posted about the dog.

“According to Merritt, one of the witnesses may have heard Jean’s final words.

“Which was, ‘Oh my God, why did you do that?’ and there was nothing heard after,” Merritt said.

He argued that Guyger’s account in her arrest affidavit was a ploy to gain public sympathy and said that she should have realized she was at the wrong apartment. For example: Jean had a red doormat at his front door, which Guyger did not, while Guyger has a dog.

“Not only at the front of his door [the red rug outside] but all around his apartment. This is his apartment, this wasn’t her apartment,” Merritt said, according to the Star-Telegram. “There wouldn’t be the same smell. There wouldn’t be the same furniture. There wouldn’t be the same lighting patterns. There would’ve been a number of identifying markers to alert her including the absence of her dog.”

Snip:
Moments after an off-duty Dallas police officer shot and killed a man in his own apartment, firefighters were dispatched to the complex for a shooting by a security guard, not a police officer, according to hours of audio reviewed by this news agency, further clouding what Amber Guyger or witnesses may have initially told police last week.

“We now have you assigned to a gunshot,” a Dallas Fire Department dispatcher said over the radio to Rescue 4 at 10:02 p.m. Thursday. “A security guard just shot the patient, so go ahead and stand by.”

A call to the Dallas Police Association, the officer’s union, referred media inquiries to a public relations firm.

“The DPA is withholding any public comments on the incident until all the facts are known and the investigation is complete,” Brian Mayes of Mayes Media Group said. “You might try the Dallas Police Department for additional updates.” End Snip.

Dallas shooting: First call came for security guard shooting?

I with really like to know if she lives alone or with a partner.

If she lives with a partner, her shouting ”let me in“ would finally make sense. And the shock when a black dude in underwear opened. And the thought of him crawling out of HER bed, after having sex with her (female?) partner. And the anger!

Noise complaints made by someone who lived downstairs from Mr. Jean:

“Merritt did reveal that the same day as the shooting, someone in the apartment immediately below Jean’s — which happens to be Guyger’s place of residence — made a noise complaint about Jean’s apartment; furthermore, he said, it was not the first noise complaint.”

Can you please post this on the thread I started days ago? I have been waiting for this to become public.

Can you please post this on the thread I started days ago?

I’m happy to. Gonna take me a minute to find it. I’m just hoping people listen to it and don’t pass it by. Write to me everyone if I end up in WS Jail. Can you point me in the right direction?

Well, if that is true, it changes everything.

Uh oh. This could spin more than one way, if true. But she was at work forever supposedly, so... Hmm

Now I cannot find it! It was there days ago. Does anyone here remember?
I was told to put what I heard on the scanner in the scanner thread.

This just gets worse and worse.

Not much about this story makes any sense. I just can't believe the narrative that she simply went to the wrong door.

 

[Nah]

Stuff that doesn’t make sense to me:

How you park on the wrong level AND walk to the wrong level, even if you are tired. And even if you make it that far, when your key doesn’t work...??? I mean, I have gotten into the wrong car before, but it was unlocked, and it looked just like mine, but as soon as I sat in it, I was like, “Oh crap!!!!”

Which brings me to the next thing that doesn’t make sense. Why would the door have been ajar? I mean, I guess if it was, then that would make sense she might have thought she had an intruder (past the red rug that wasn’t hers?), but it makes no sense that the apartment she happened to come to was left open??? I mean, what a coincidence that the ONE apartment she mistook for hers, the dude didn’t even close his door all the way???

And if it was left ajar, why is the apartment pitch black???? And she did not flip on a light? She did not call out, “Who’s there?”

And if the apartment is pitch black, why is the owner of the apartment wandering around in the dark? Unless he came to see who was at his door... but then why wouldn’t HE turn on a light? Why is all this stuff supposedly happening in the dark??? (My point being, her story has major holes. I doubt the owner was wandering around in the dark.)

Did her toxicology report come back yet, btw?

I remember reading it and clicking likes. I know I’m not imagining it.

These two stories are both in the warrant (paragraphs 4 & 5). How can both be true? IMO, the door wasn’t ajar. That makes the least amount of sense to me.

Oh goody, it’s the ‘more guns’ battlecry! (Sarcasm intended.)

Both stories clearly can’t be true. IMO, the door ajar story was put forth to make it seem like she didn’t force illegal entry into someone else’s home before opening fire. If the door was ajar she didn’t have a giant flashing neon sign telling her she was not at her own door and her “confusion” story seems more plausible.
