Arrest warrant affidavit has been released with more detail.. she says the ''silhouette" she saw in the darkness ignored her commands ![Hmm :hmm: :hmm:](/forum/images/smilies/hmm.gif)
Amber Guyger shot Botham Jean after 'silhouette' in apartment ignored commands, affidavit says
When she arrived at Jean's door, Guyger entered a unique door key with an electronic chip into the keyhole, the affidavit says. The door was already ajar, so the force of pushing the key inside opened the door, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit says the apartments' "respective interior floorplans are in most ways identical or extremely similar."
The apartment was dark and when she saw "a large silhouette," Guyger thought she was being burglarized, the affidavit says.
The affidavit says Guyger drew her gun, "gave verbal commands that were ignored" and fired twice. Jean was struck once in the torso.
Guyger then called 911 from her cellphone and started performing first aid. She turned on the lights, then went to the front door again and realized the apartment wasn't hers, the affidavit says.
She told the 911 operator as well as responding officers that she thought she was at her apartment when she shot Jean, according to the affidavit.
Jean was taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, where he died.
The Texas Rangers got a search warrant for Jean's apartment. After the Rangers interviewed Guyger, they believed "a possibility exists that Subject Jean was expecting an unknown visitor," and a cellphone or laptop may show evidence of that, according to an affidavit for the warrant.
A return for the warrant shows the Rangers seized an iPhone from the living room. They didn't take Jean's laptop, which they noted was damaged.
