I don’t know enough about the case to have a relevant opinion but I do wonder how often,if at all,people have made the same mistake that she did in that particular building...that is to go to the apartment directly above,or below,the one they intended to go to.
A cop should have some form of situational awareness at all times. She didn’t.
Victim's apartment had a large red welcome mat in front of his door. Her apartment had no such adornment.
I would think that the apartment number on the door might be something of a giveaway. Unless she was too impaired to notice that the number on the door and the number of her apartment didn’t match.
In any event, the city of Dallas is better off not having her “protecting” the populace. Shame that it cost a young man his life to do it, though.
Investigators interviewed 297 residents at the apartment complex, Armstrong said, and many of them told authorities they'd parked on the wrong floor, walked to the wrong apartment or even put their keys in the door of the wrong apartment by mistake. Armstrong parked on the wrong floor himself during the investigation, he said.
The percentage of people who'd experienced such confusion grew when police interviewed residents of the third and fourth floors, where Guyger and Jean lived, he said. For instance, while 32% of residents said they'd parked on the wrong floor, 47% of residents on the third and fourth floors said they had parked on the incorrect level.
