Protests were held in Dallas and New York on Friday to honor slain Texas man Botham Jean on the eve of what would have been his 27th birthday. Jean was shot dead in his own apartment last month by a Dallas police officer who is now facing manslaughter charges. Protesters decried the killing of Botham Jean.

Protester: “Another black man murdered by an off-duty cop. Botham was murdered in his own home after officer Amber Guyger broke into his home, thinking it was her own apartment, and shot him to death. We are here tonight to say this must end.”
