Amber Guyger found guilty of murder at trial in fatal shooting of neighbor Botham Jean

Former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger was found guilty of murder on Tuesday for fatally shooting her neighbor, Botham Jean, after thinking he was an intruder when she mistakenly entered his apartment.

Guyger, who has been out on a $300,000 bond, faces a maximum of life in prison. She was not immediately taken into custody and is awaiting sentencing scheduled for later Tuesday afternoon.

There was an audible gasp in the packed courtroom as state District Judge Tammy Kemp read the jury's decision, and Jean's family later walked out crying and embracing, many wearing red — the victim's favorite color.
