Dallas officer enters apartment she mistakes for her own, fatally shoots man inside

[Cecilie1200]

i'm thinking that the door was unlocked and she walked up , turned the knob , walked in and there he was , all ready to be shot Dead ,

There has to be more to this story then what has been reported.

Well, yeah. The police even said there was a lot they were declining to say, pending a full investigation.

 

[Cecilie1200]

I do know this --- if a civilian claimed this as a defense for killing someone -- that civilian will still be going to prison.

The civilian would be charged with manslaughter, same as the cop is.

Look anyone who is a Cop who enters his apartment, house, trailer, is going to notice right off the bat something is wrong with what he or she sees. The first thing is the door was unlocked, suspicious yes, but upon entering the light must have been on. The contents would not match your stuff, this is a strong hint that you have screwed up. Therefore I suggest that she and he have some connection of some type. The shooting only allows one side of the story be told. It almost looks like Murder at this point.

Anything is possible but you're correct about officers being particularly observant which is why I was wondering how her situational awareness could have been so off.

"Police Chief Reneé Hall said a blood sample was drawn at her request to test the officer's drug and alcohol levels and "we are in the process of obtaining a warrant based on the circumstances.""

So they're wondering, as well.

Once inside, how can she not realize that she is in the wrong apartment?

I gave it some thought, I bet she had a sexual relationship and something went bad, very bad.

Murder if she was sleeping with him. DNA needs to be done

Stand your ground even if it isn’t your ground

There really aren't any words for this. How was she able to even enter the apartment if it wasn't hers?

Dallas police said the officer called for help and told responding officers that "she entered the victim's apartment believing that it was her own."

A Dallas man was killed late Thursday when a police officer returning home from her shift entered the wrong apartment in her building and eventually opened fire, authorities said.

Details surrounding the death of Botham Shem Jean, a 26-year-old native of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, were not immediately available early Friday.

His mother, Allie Jean, said in a phone interview that his family was stunned to learn of his death.

"He did no one any wrong," she said.

Dallas police in a statement said that preliminary information suggests the officer involved called for help, and told responding officers that "she entered the victim's apartment believing that it was her own."

The incident began just before 10 p.m. CT (11 p.m. ET) at the South Side Flats, an upscale apartment complex directly south of Dallas' downtown.

During the encounter, the officer was in full uniform and "fired her weapon striking the victim," police said.

Jean was taken to the hospital and died. The Dallas County Medical Examiner later released his identity.

I dont know how many people here h ave had jobs that are long and difficult days.

You get home just brain dead, and thinking about everything other than IS THIS THE RIGHT APARTMENT.

You might think that is a no brainer, but some of these cookie cutter apartment complexes are identical from one block to the next, and if you miss a turn you can walk up the stairs at night and be at the wrong place without realizing it.

I believe one thing is for sure, that cop is hating life, and feeling lower than anyone can imagine..

Because she was probably banging him. None of the white girls I banged were racist.

Dallas officer faces manslaughter charge for shooting man in apartment she thought was hers, police chief says | Crime | Dallas News

The officer who shot Jean is white, and Jean said she wondered whether the outcome would have been different if her son hadn't been black.

 

[Darkman00]

How could you do this to me ... Bitch.

I know, poor girl. i hope she is OK? Community service, credit for time served and 90 days probation. Stuff happens. Maybe he charged the door in the dark with a 11" boner? She feared for her safety? Better take a few weeks off and some desk duty.
