White female Dallas cop will be charged with manslaughter for shooting dead her black accountant neighbor, 26, in his own home after she 'mistakenly walked into his apartment thinking it was her own'

A white Dallas police officer is facing manslaughter charges for shooting dead a black man in his home after she entered his apartment thinking it was her own. The unnamed female officer was off duty and returning home from work on Thursday night when she entered 26-year-old Botham Shem Jean's apartment. Dallas authorities say the uniformed officer was confronted by Jean (seen left and top right with relatives), pulled her gun on him and fired. The officer then called dispatch to report the shooting. When authorities arrived she told them mistook Jean's apartment for her own. Jean, who grew up on the Caribbean Island of St Lucia and worked as a PricewaterhouseCoopers associate, was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
