Dallas Cop Amber Guyger Kills Botham Jean In His Own Home

The day after the shooting death of Botham Jean in his own home by a resident of the same complex, Dallas cop Amber Guyger, Texas Ranger investigators obtained a search warrant for Jean's apartment. While there are discrepancies in Guyger's account of the incident, we're not aware of any effort to obtain a search warrant for her residence. Even as she is at liberty due to meeting a bail requirement of $300,000 and Jean's relatives find that Guyger's story doesn't add up. There's more here.

 

The same conditions existed in the case of the shooting death of Justine Damond in Minneapolis, MN on July 15, 2017. When she was killed by a Minneapolis policeman in an alley  on the same block as her home, cops immediately acquired a search warrant for the premises. Perhaps that's normal procedure in a homicide investigation or any crime, regardless of the crime's proximity to the victim's home. In any event, we've never been informed of any commensurate search of the residence of either of the cops involved in the killing of Ms. Damond. And, well over a year later, both cops, including the man who pulled the trigger that released the bullet that killed Justine Damond, have yet to be involved in a court action that would declare their innocence or guilt in the matter of her death.
