The Dallas police officer who killed 26-year-old Botham Jean in his own apartment got inside because the door wasn’t locked, a law enforcement official said Sunday.
Officer Amber Guyger had just ended a 15-hour shift when she parked on the wrong level of the South Side Flats garage— the fourth floor instead of the third, where she lived, according to the official who has direct knowledge of the case but is not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings also said Sunday that Guyger parked on the wrong floor.
She went to the door she thought was hers but was one floor too high. The four floors of the South Side Flats in the Cedars look the same, with concrete floors and tan doors. A light fixture to the side of each door displays the apartment number.
Guyger, 30, was arrested Sunday on a manslaughter charge and was booked into the Kaufman County Jail. The Texas Rangers are investigating the case at the request of Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall. In the last year, juries have sentenced two police officers in Dallas County to prison time after convicting them of murder.
The night of the shooting, Guyger didn’t notice that Jean's door had a red doormat in front of it, the official said. Her entrance didn’t have one.

These apartments had the electronic locks and key/keyfobs.
Probably a 12 hour shift of drinking..
In uniform?
“You would think the guy said something through the door or locked through a window like ‘ who are you’? ‘What do you want?’ Etc....”
The urge is to yank the door open and scare the Bejebus out of them. Bad move if the person on the other side is a zonked out cop who thinks you’re in HER apartment. Bang.
“So who was yelling “open up” then?”
Her, frustrated that her card wasn’t working? I “talk” to inanimate objects all the time. You should hear what I say to my computer...
Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that any apartments that an LEO could afford would not.
“:^)
Thanks! FOX News reported 10 PM in one article, but neglected to mention if that was local time. I’ve also heard/read that apartment building/complex is “high end”, whatever the heck that means. Be interesting to know what rents there run...
Yes, I read that later, and it makes it even more bizarre. Obviously this woman should never have made it into the police force. I still think affirmative action is ruining everything, and we all will pay the price.
Even if she uses the excuse that she was exhausted and not fully paying attention, that is no time to draw and use a weapon. The whole thing is sad and weird, but not racist as the mob is saying.
Ha, ha, true. A cop once told me that if there were no alcohol, we could not need half the police force. :-)

Terrific info, thanks! Not sure where the author of the article got the higher end apartment idea. Looks about like the average for Dallas.
None of this matters!
She shot a man inside his own home. She wasn’t there in an official capacity. It may have been a terrible mistake, but a man is dead. She needs to be convicted of manslaughter (at the least) and never work as a police officer again. She should have been taken into custody pending further investigation when this incident happened, as would be the case for any non-cop who just shot someone in that person’s home, or as usually happens even if you shoot someone in your home.
You’re Welcome. It’s pricey in My world. I don’t know what Dallas Cop of 4 years makes a year but it sounds a bit spendy to Me.
Bartleby the Scrivener.
Herman Melville.
What was her state of mind? Drunk, drugs, 24 hour shift, scatter brained?
When you are in a building that is designed exactly the same floor to floor, it is easy to do. I’ve spend all of my working my years [I’m 70 now] in skyscraper office buildings with exactly the same design on each floor.
It is easy to do. You do NOT HAVE TO BE DRUNK. You are essentially on auto-pilot, glancing at familiar points.
Having said that, I don’t have any idea what happened in this case.
The store just changed. She knew him. See Daily Mail.
wow
No, probably didn’t know him on second read ... but the story has more to it.
Looks they they are going to build a racist case against her.
