Amber Guyger full name Amber Rene Guyger, is a Dallas police officer who shot and killed Botham Shem Jean, a black businessman in his own apartment in Dallas, Texas on September 6, 2018.
According to police, Guyger shot and killed Jean after returning in-uniform to the South Side Flats, where they both had apartments, following her shift. She reported the shooting to dispatchers and told officers who responded she had mistaken Jean’s apartment for her own.
Botham Shem Jean was not the first person shot by Guyger. She shot another man, Uvaldo Perez, on 12 May 2017, while she was on duty. According to an affidavit in the case filed against Perez, police were looking for a suspect when Guyger and another officer were called to assist a third. Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who wrested it away from her. She drew her gun and fired, wounding Perez in the abdomen. Guyger was not charged in the shooting.
