Re: Officer Invades Apartment, Shoots Resident
Some information now, that she had filed a lot of complaints for "noise" from him, as she lived directly beneath him. Not sure if this is fact or more fake news...

To be fair, she at least violated one basic rule- know that target and what lies beyond it... if she had identified the backstop, she'd know it wasn't her apartment.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 1:31 pm TV news is reporting, she tried her key, it didn’t fit, but found the door unlocked, opened the door and found a dark figure walking towards her, drew and fired, killing him.
To me manslaughter is the charge, not murder.
I’m assuming at night. Dark figure in her apartment, coming towards her, most likely in fear of her life, she fires. Afterwards finds out she was in the wrong apartment, not her residence, to me a duty to retreat, not use deadly force.
We’ve had a lot of husbands shooting their wives at night after the wife leaves the bed for a midnight snack. To me this is a odd variation on that one. Not a know your target, but a know your residence.
I’m seeing a potential lawsuit against building owners for making floors and apartment entrances too similar.

If the witness statement about hearing "Open up, Open Up!" it may have been the officer "mistakenly" trying to break in.ELB wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 10:33 am A few more details, not many. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2 ... adquarters

Dallas police say one of their officers was going home after her shift when she walked into the wrong apartment and shot the man inside.

The victim has been identified as 26-year-old Botham Shem Jean.
While inside, she pulled her firearm and shot Jean. He later died at the hospital from his injuries.
