When Amber Guyger placed her key in the door of apartment No. 1478 at the South Side Flats apartment complex in Dallas, she set off a chain of events that cost an innocent man his life and ended her career as a police officer.
A little more than a year after Guyger, 31, fatally shot Botham Jean when she mistook his apartment for her own apartment one floor below, prosecutors are asking a Texas jury to convict her of murder. But defense attorneys have countered that Guyger made a tragic and"reasonable mistake," believing she'd interrupted an intruder in her own home and using lethal force to defend herself.Guyger's trail resumed on Monday.
Sept. 9, 2018 -- An arrest warrant is issued for Guyger, charging her with manslaughter. She is released on $300,000 bond and put on administrative leave from her job. Guyger, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, told investigators she arrived home from work about 10 p.m. and mistakenly parked her pickup truck on the fourth floor of the building instead of the third floor, which corresponded to her apartment.
Sept. 24, 2018 -- Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall announces Guyger has been fired. Hall says her decision to terminate Guyger was made after an internal affairs investigation concluded that Guyger"engaged in adverse conduct" when she fatally shot Jean. April 30, 2019 -- The 911 call made by Guyger after she shot Jean is obtained by ABC Dallas station WFAA. In the call, Guyger repeatedly tells a dispatcher,"I thought it was my apartment," and says,"I'm going to lose my job."
