A white policewoman who gunned down a black accountant in Texas has been identified as new video emerges of the frantic moments after the officer mistakenly entered his home thinking it was hers and opened fire.
Amber Guyger, 30, was identified as the off-duty officer who shot 26-year-old Botham Jean in an apartment block in south Dallas on Thursday night.
Instagram footage posted by a neighbor shows the female uniformed officer crying into her phone on a walkway of the apartment block. She is heard screaming 'oh God!' into the phone before she dashes away out of view. Moments later, the victim is pulled past on a gurney as medics desperately try to revive him.
Dallas police on Saturday revealed Guyger had worked for Dallas Police Department for four years on the Southeast Patrol Division.
Dallas police initially said they would seek her arrest on manslaughter charges but then handed the case over to the Texas Rangers, who asked for more time to investigate new information that had only recently emerged.
