Jean, a banking associate who was afraid of being racially profiled in Texas, was at home

The doors in the complex were all identified by well-lit neon lights as well.
Jean’s family and the neighbors accounts have cast doubt on her version of events.
Witnesses who were in the building at the time say they heard a woman banging on a door that was supposedly ajar, and demanding ‘Let me in, let me in[to],’ the home of a man she didn’t know, never met before, just seconds before the first shots rang out.
After she fired the shots witnesses a male voice, not asking who she was, instead demanding ‘why did you do that?’
The skepticism of the Jean family about receiving justice and a fair hearing from authorities was further buttressed when Dallas police claimed they found marijuana in his apartment afterwards.
The family considered it an attempt to discredit him and protect his killer.
