What to know about Amber Guyger, ex-cop who killed Botham Jean, ahead of civil trial

The family of Botham Jean and former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger are headed to court later this month over a wrongful death lawsuit.

In 2018, Guyger mistook Jean’s Cedars apartment for her own and fatally shot the 26-year-old accountant believing he was a burglar. A Dallas County jury found Guyger guilty of murder and sentenced her to 10 years in prison.
