Police officer who killed neighbor in his own home found guilty of murder
Dallas police officer who shot her unarmed black neighbor in his own apartment was found guilty of murder on Tuesday, in an unusual and high-profile case that dealt with issues of race, policing and mistaken identity.
The officer, Amber R. Guyger, was charged in the death of her 26-year-old neighbor, Botham Shem Jean, after she said she said accidentally went to the wrong floor of their apartment complex, entered the unit directly above hers and fatally shot him last year.
