The officer who killed a man in his apartment Thursday after she apparently mistook it for her own home also shot a suspect during an arrest in 2017.
Amber Guyger, 30, who has been with the department for almost five years, was not indicted in the 2017 shooting of the suspect who had taken her Taser from her during a struggle.
She is expected to face a manslaughter charge for killing 26-year-old Botham Jean on Thursday, but a warrant for her arrest had not been issued Saturday.
“She is devastated,” said a Dallas police officer close to Guyger who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “She is so, so sorry for this family.”
Guyger had moved into the South Side Flats complex about a month earlier and had never met Jean, the officer said.
Her attorney declined to comment.
