(CNN) — A man who was a key witness in the murder trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was fatally shot Friday in the parking lot of his apartment complex, according to attorney Lee Merritt.
Joshua Brown was a neighbor of shooting victim Botham Jean, who was sitting in his apartment in September 2018 when Guyger walked inside and shot him to death.
Lee Merritt, attorney for Jean’s family, told CNN he spoke to Brown’s mother who confirmed the death.
Dallas police responded to a call for a shooting at the Atera Apartments complex around 10:30 p.m. Friday, police told CNN.
Officers were flagged down by witnesses who directed them to Brown, who was lying on the ground of the apartment parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries, according to a statement from Dallas Police.
Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver four-door sedan speed out of the parking lot, police said.
Brown had no identification on him, so police couldn’t identify him until the medical examiner made a positive ID and notified the next of kin.
There is no suspect information at this time, police said.
--GRA: Brown gave testimony that seemed to agree with Guyger. Brown testified that Guyger ran out of Jean's apartment yelling over and over, “I was in the wrong apartment.”
Did the area blacks not approve of that testimony?

TWO MEX KILL 4 MEX,INJURE 5 OTHER MEX IN KC "PRIVATE" BAR SHOOTING
ReplyDelete(ABCNews) A manhunt was launched early Sunday for at least two gunmen who opened fire inside a Kansas City, Kansas, bar just before closing time, killing four people and wounding another five before fleeing the chaotic scene, according to police.
The deadly incident broke out about 1:27 a.m. at the Tequila KC Bar, a private members-only tavern, when two men came through the door and opened fire without warning, police said.
"When we went inside we found four Hispanic males that have been shot and were deceased. Outside we located five more victims that were all transported to area hospitals," Officer T.J. Tomasic, a spokesman for the Kansas City Police, said during a news conference Sunday morning outside the Central Avenue bar.
Tomasic said police were combing through video surveillance footage from inside the bar, hoping it captured the shooting and images of the suspects, who have yet to be identified. Police are also looking for security videos from outside the bar.
Of the four men fatally gunned down, one was in his late 50s, another was in his late 30s and two were in their mid-20s, Tomasic said.
Authorities said the five people wounded are all in stable condition at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City.
Tomasic said there were at least 40 people inside the bar when the shooting broke out about a half-hour before the 2 p.m. closing time.
He said the incident may have stemmed from an altercation that occurred at the bar earlier.
The Tequilla KC Bar operates as a private club and patrons are asked to show a membership card before entering, according to a sign in front of the establishment.
Police suspect the shooting was an isolated incident and that the community was not in imminent danger.
Tomasic said investigators, at this time, do not believe race was a factor in the motive behind the quadruple murders.
Witnesses described the suspects as Hispanic and that all of the victims are Hispanic.
GRA:A private club--lol.As Woody Allen said--paraphrasing:"I would not want to be part of any club that would have me as a member--especially the ones where they blow your brains out with a Glock."
