Joshua Brown, a key witness in the Amber Guyger murder trial, lived in constant fear that he could be the next victim of gun violence. Ten days after Brown testified, his fear came true when he was fatally shot outside his new Dallas apartment.
When he testified in the murder trial of former Dallas officer Amber Guyger, who shot and killed his neighbor Botham Jean, the former aspiring football player broke down in tears. "He said it could have been him," said Lee Merritt, Jean's family attorney. Ten days after Brown testified, his fear came true. The 28-year-old was shot and killed outside his new Dallas apartment Friday. No suspects have been arrested. The motive remains unknown.
Amber Guyger sentenced to 10 years for fatally shooting Botham JeanThe night his neighbor was killed, Brown left his apartment to watch part of a Falcons vs. Eagles game at a sports bar. "My cousin plays safety for the Falcons, and a friend of mine plays for the Eagles. So I just wanted to make sure I was there to watch the game," Brown said. But he decided to go home at halftime.
