Authorities are searching for a third Louisiana man suspected in the killing of a witness who testified at the recent murder trial of a former Dallas police officer who killed her neighbor. The witness was killed during a drug sale gone awry.
Guyger, who is white, fatally shot Jean, who was black, in September 2018 in his apartment after she returned from working a long shift. She said she mistook his fourth-floor unit for her own, which was one floor below it, and believed Jean was an intruder. She was arrested on a manslaughter charge three days after the killing, leading to criticism that the charge was too lenient, but a grand jury later decided on the more serious charge of murder.
Although police say Brown’s killing had nothing to do with the case against Guyger, the conspiracy theories surrounding his death underscored the distrust that some Dallas residents have for their police department. Merritt urged the department to hand off the investigation into Brown’s death to another law enforcement agency as a way to bolster trust.
