Dallas Police Shooting Victim Remembered
ROMANS: The scene last night at Harding University. A vigil for Botham Shem Jean who attended the Arkansas school. Students remembering the 26-year-old who was shot and killed in his own apartment last Thursday, killed by off duty Dallas police officer Amber Guyger.</s>BRIGGS: Also last night, protesters marched in Dallas demanding justice for the Jean. About 100 people took to the streets demanding Guyger face murder charges. Right now, the 30-year-old officer is charged with manslaughter. New details about the shooting emerged yesterday in the Guyger's arrest affidavit. It says she claimed she mistook his apartment for her own, one floor below. Guyger says the door was already ajar when she's trying to use her key card to open it. She claimed Jean's silhouette across the room, and pulled her service weapon. The affidavit says she yelled commands at Jean and shot him when he did not comply. Of course, he was in his own apartment. Ed Lavandera has more from Dallas.</s>ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Dave and Christine, the mother of the 26-year-old man who was shot and killed by a Dallas police officer while he was in his own apartment says she simply wants to know why and how all of this could have happened. There is still much confusion and very few answers as to what transpired when Dallas police officer Amber Guyger says she mistakenly walked into Botham Shem Jean's apartment south of downtown Dallas last week and fired the shots that killed him. But the attorneys for the victim's family said the officer received special treatment. They don't know why it took three days for investigators to arrest and charge her with manslaughter. They insist that could have been easily done in the hours just after the shooting. Dallas police say they want to be transparent. That is why they called in the Texas Rangers, state police force, to investigate this shooting. Those investigators worked throughout the weekend leading up to the criminal charges being filed Sunday night. But now, the district attorney in Dallas says there is a possibility these criminal charges could be upgraded to murder. The prosecutors say they are going to present more evidence and testimony to a Dallas grand jury, and based on that, that grand jury, the D.A. says, could choose to upgrade the criminal charges from manslaughter to murder. But the timeline for that will probably take several weeks. Meanwhile, the family for Botham Jean say they are planning funeral service for later this week -- Dave and Christine.</s>ROMANS: All right. Thanks for that, Ed.</s>BRIGGS: All right.
