</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The white Dallas cop who shot dead her neighbor on September 6 after arriving at his apartment, allegedly thinking it was hers, has been fired for the killing.<br />
Dallas Police Department announced on Monday morning that it had fired Amber Guyger, 30, for killing Botham Jean, a 26-year-old banking associate, in his apartment.<br />
Dallas police announce that: &#8216;Chief U. Renee Hall terminated Police Officer Amber Guyger #10702 during a hearing held September 24, 2018,&#8217; after &#8216;An internal affairs investigation concluded that on September 9, 2018, Officer Guyger engaged in &#8216;adverse conduct&#8217; when she was arrested or manslaughter.<br />
The announcement comes just days after Chief Hall said firing the officer would compromise the criminal investigation.<br />
Police spokesperson Sergeant Warren Mitchell confirmed Guyger had been fired as a formality which goes along with being arrested. He refused to say why it had taken two weeks for the force to fire her, saying only: &#8216;It just happened when it happened.&#8217;<br />
Her firing was announced in a press release which read: &#8216;Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall terminated Police Officer Amber Guyger #10702 during a hearing held September 24, 2018.<br />
The press released detailed that &#8216;Officer Guyger was terminated for her actions, She was hired in November 2013 and was assigned to the Southeast Patrol Division.<br />
&#8216;Under civil service rules, Officer Guyger has the right to appeal her discipline.&#8217;<br />
Amber Guyger, 30, was fired on Monday for fatally shooting Botham Jean, right, on September 6</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-299673" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Amber-Renee-Guyger-2.jpg" alt="Amber Renee Guyger 2.JPG" width="715" height="396" />Amber Renee Guyger [L-R], has been charged with manslaughter in the death of Botham Jean<br />
</strong></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Despite the wording of the release, which indicates she was fired for something she did while being arrested three days after the crime, police say it was the fact that she had been arrested which sealed her fate.<br />
The shooting death of Jean Botham has galvanized protests against the handling of the investigation by local authorities. Last weekend, protesters took to the streets demanding that she lose her job. She had been on administrative leave until then.<br />
It took Texas rangers three days to charge Guyger with manslaughter on September 9.<br />
She claimed that she arrived at Jean&#8217;s apartment thinking it was hers and that the door was ajar when she arrived. She alleged that she opened it using a key then gave verbal commands to him as she looked at him standing in the dark, across the room from her, before shooting him.<br />
A search warrant for the young man&#8217;s home to retrieve evidence for the case against her however claimed she that he came to the door after hearing her trying to get in with a set of keys.</p>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">Guyger shot Jean dead at his apartment, number 1478, on September 6. She told authorities she mistook his apartment for her own and believed Jean, who was unarmed, was a burglar<br />
She claims she arrived at it thinking it was hers and that the door was ajar.<br />
Neighbors have disputed her claims that she opened the door and found Jean standing in the dark. They say they heard a woman knocking on the door and shouting &#8216;let me in&#8217;</div>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Neighbors also say they heard a woman shouting &#8216;let me in&#8217; and knocking on the door seconds before she fired her weapon.<br />
They say they heard the pair exchange words and that a man shouted: &#8216;Oh my God, what have you done?&#8217; after she fired her gun.<br />
Guyger claims she went into the apartment, challenged the intruder before shooting. The evidence of witnesses, however suggests that she shot Jean at the door.</p>

<div>Jean&#8217;s family say that while they do not believe the pair knew each other, that they think there is more to his killing.<br />
Guyger, who had worked for the police for four years, has said nothing since being bailed out by an attorney earlier this month on a $300,000 bond.<br />
Jean&#8217;s family have questioned why it took police three days to arrest her. They say she should have been put in custody immediately after she called police.<br />
Lee Merritt, an attorney for Jean&#8217;s family, has cast doubt on Guyger&#8217;s version of events.<br />
Hall&#8217;s decision to fire Guyger came after widespread calls for action. Protesters had called for her to be fired for weeks.<br />
Her employment status even became an issue in the U.S. Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger in the November US senatorial elections, Rep. Beto O&#8217;Rourke.<br />
The latter had called for her firing, while Cruz accused O&#8217;Rourke was rushing to judgment.<br />
Guyger is allowed to appeal the decision under civil service rules, police said.</div>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">
<p class="mol-para-with-font">They also say it is unlikely she could have mistaken their son&#8217;s door for her own because he had a distinctive red door mat at the entrance of his apartment.<br />
At a press conference on Monday, his mother Allison, who flew in from St Lucia with his siblings after his death, said: &#8216;The number one answer that I want is, what happened? I have asked too many questions and have been told that there are no answers yet.<br />
&#8216;I am looking forward to all of the powers that be to come up with the answers.<br />
&#8216;To make me more satisfied that they are doing what is in the best interest of that injustice for Botham.&#8217;<br />
The decision to fire Guyger was lauded by many sections of the community who have been calling for her termination for weeks, including the mayor who called it &#8220;the right decision in the interest of justice&#8221;.<br />
Guyger has been on administrative leave since the shooting and is free, as she awaits trial, on a $300,000 bond.</p>
