The Dallas police officer Amber Guyger who shot and killed Botham Jean in his apartment after she claims to have entered believing it to be her own home has been officially fired from the police force. Guyger shot Jean on Sept. 6 and was arrested, controversially, three-days later before posting $300,000 bail. An internal investigation stated that Guyger was "terminated for her actions" during the arrest.
A statement from the Dallas Police Department read, in part, "An Internal Affairs investigation concluded that on September 9, 2018, Officer Guyger, #10702, engaged in adverse conduct when she was arrested for Manslaughter," but added that Guyger could appeal her termination. According to The Texas Tribune, Guyger remained on the city payroll under "administrative leave."
