If it was a mistaken entry into what she thought was her’s. Manslaughter
If she new it wasn’t her apartment. Murder.
Of course race has entered into this. The real racism is not her killing him, but the trial itself.
Just looked up this case. Turns out, Texas doesn’t have “degrees” of murder.
It has capital murder and murder.
Manslaughter is committed recklessly without intent to kill.
But she testified that, when she pointed her gun at the victim, she intended to kill him.
Under Texas law, that is murder. That’s why she faces 5 years to life.
(At least that’s what I think I read. Maybe some Texans here will correct me if I’m wrong.)
So sorry for the victim and his family.
