One of the witnesses in the murder trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Dallas, Texas. 28-year-old Joshua Brown suffered multiple gunshots wounds and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities have not made an arrest in the case, and witnesses told police they saw a silver sedan speed away from the scene.
"I just spoke with Joshua Browns mother. She is devastated. We all are," civil rights attorney S. Lee Merritt, who represented the family of Botham Jean said. "Joshua Brown was key witness in the murder of Botham Jean that helped put Amber Guyger away. We need answers."
Brown lived next door to Botham Jean, who was shot and killed in September 2018 by Guyger after she mistook him for an intruder in her home. Brown testified that he heard Guyger and Jean's voices and told the jury that he did not hear Guyger issue any warning before she opened fire.
Guyger was convicted of murder and sentenced to ten years in prison.
