Dallas police have released the name of the officer they say mistakenly entered a man's home before shooting him dead.

However, a previously reported manslaughter charge has been placed on hold.

Officer Amber Guyger, 30, had finished a shift Thursday and was still in uniform when she told authorities she thought the apartment of her neighbor, 26-year-old Botham Shem Jean, was her own.

Jean was fatally shot. It is not clear what prompted the shooting but Guyger reportedly called police following the incident.

"Right now, there are more questions than answers,"Chief Ulysha Renee Hall said Friday during a press conference.

Police called the situation “very unique" and said Guyger was tested for drugs and alcohol afterward.

Per CBS News, the Texas Rangers have taken over the investigation and have placed a manslaughter charge against Guyger on hold.

"The Texas Rangers had an opportunity to interview the officer," Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall said Saturday. "Based on that interview, they asked us to hold off on the warrant until they had an opportunity to investigate some of the information that was provided during that interview."

Jean was a graduate of Harding University in Arkansas and was said to be an active member at his church, according to reports.

Jean’s mother, Allison Jean, said the news was devastating and suggested on KXAS that race may have been a factor in her son's death.

"I didn't know she was white until now," Jean said. "If it was a white man would it have been different? Would she have reacted differently?"

article...

I saw that she has shot someone before so this isn't the first time for her.

What's that they say about practice?

The key question: IF she didn't have a BADGE... would she be treated any differently?

Of course she would have been treated differently. She was free and they had no idea where she was for a few days while the department investigated things. Had she just been a regular civilian she would have been arrested on the scene and would likely be sitting in jail right now.

uh she was arrested about 3 hours ago. she will most likely get bail... i hope someone finds her. oh the bitch got bail at 300k

From Twitter: “So getting this straight, you “accidentally” walk into someone else’s apt (how do you get in?) shoot them dead, realize then it wasn’t your apt, be like “oh my bad”? Y’all had identical furniture & family photos?”

“Accidentally kill someone and get PAID leave?”

The paid leave angered me. Taxes help pay her salary. Bad enough no charge after dropping manslaughter, but paid leave? How about NO pay until cleared, then award back pay??

If you or I said it was an accident, we’d be in jail with no bail

Some people always have to throw that race card out there.

she is now facing 1st degree murder :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah, just like you just did with this post?

:helpme

The weird part is that they both lived in posh flats. Wasn't some ghetto apartments. Kid was a preacher, so that explains his ability to pay 2K rent on a studio. But a cop?

Idiots! That requires proof of premeditation. She will be acquitted.

No, just like you did with your thread about the same subject.

she knocked and yelled let me in twice. followed by a gunshot and his last words my god why did you do this or something like that. this was reveal two separate witnesses said the same thing. they are investigating why she was yelling through the door.

Please find "premeditation" on the page that defines 1st degree murder in Texas.

Calling a racist a racist is a card game??

Well then gin rummy motherfucker!

:1orglaugh

You don't know the definition of racist.

Tunk bitch!

I see my tax dollars has been put to good use in Compton. They are teaching "google search 101" to less fortunates. Next step is to take foreign language course instead of native ebonics. Try "English 101". Perhaps you will learn the definition of "intent" and "premeditation". They happened to be synonymous. https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/premeditation

Dumb ass :2 cents:

Just being typical ghetto black.
