Face of Nation : Guyger, 31, was fired from the department soon after the shooting. She was convicted Tuesday and sentenced the next day to 10 years in prison.
The newspaper did not cite authorities by name for confirmation of Brown’s death. A Dallas police spokesperson on Saturday would not confirm to The Associated Press that it was Brown who was shot Friday. He said the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office would determine the identification Sunday.
Police said in a news release that they responded to the shooting shortly after 10:30 p.m. local time on Friday. They said several witnesses flagged officers down when they arrived and directed them to an apartment parking lot where the man who was shot was lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he died. Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver four-door sedan speeding out of the parking lot, according to the police news release.
The man was taken to a hospital where he died. Lee Merritt, a lawyer for the Jean family, said in a tweet Saturday that he spoke with Brown’s mother.
“She is devastated. We all are,” Merritt said. “Joshua Brown was a key witness in the murder of Botham Jean that helped put Amber Guyger away. We need answers.”
In a statement he included with the tweet, he said authorities have not identified a suspect or determined a motive.”Brown deserves the same justice he sought to ensure the Jean family,” Merritt said in the statement. “If we had more people like him, we would have a better world,” said Hermus, who was lead prosecutor in the case.
