In Texas, the white police officer who shot and killed a 26-year-old black Dallas man in his own apartment has been indicted for murder. The officer, Amber Guyger, entered Botham Jean’s apartment, where she shot and killed him on September 6. Guyger claimed she thought she was entering her own apartment. She was initially charged with manslaughter, but a grand jury decided to pursue the murder charge after hearing testimonies in the case.
