DALLAS — Authorities say a witness in the murder trial of a white Dallas police officer who fatally shot her black neighbor has been killed in a shooting.that authorities said Joshua Brown, who lived in the same apartment complex as Officer Amber Guyger and her neighbor Botham Jean, was fatally shot Friday.
Police would not confirm to The Associated Press that it was Brown who was shot, pending family notification. They said police responded to the shooting shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday. They said several witnesses flagged officers down and directed them to an apartment parking lot where the man who was shot was lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.The 28-year-old Brown testified in Guyger’s trial about the night that Jean was killed.
Guyger was convicted Tuesday and sentenced the next day to 10 years in prison. Guyger said she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own and thought he was an intruder when she fatally shot him in September 2018.
There should be a additional years added to her sentence for every person killed associated to her crime. What is it called? DEATH BY ASSOCIATION.
Has Amber Guyger or anyone on her behalf release a statement about this murder?
Lesson for future snitches
jatara_ Don’t make sense to kill him after the Trial
Why was that? Not justice surely
FBI
Wonam6 Dallas PD White supremacy
Rush to judgment
Joshua Brown. Say his name ✊🏿
related? ... but I hope not.
DrGJackBrown I read in another article that he was shot in the back and leg. :( :( :(
Looks pretty pretty suspicious to the public who reads this and not a rocket scientist to figure it out
And if you don’t at least consider the police as the prime suspect then you are part of the problem!
You know damn well the cops killed him
The department is led by goons they should all be 🧹 aside
Why is America like Pinochet's Chile?
maggieNYT Cops are to blame.
OmarKelly
There are no coincidences.
maggieNYT RickPerryMadeMeDoIt
AP, he had a name! And, u can use the word assassinated. Hmmm...who would want him dead after he testified against a Dallas police officer?
Someone with a dark heart seems to want to create anarchy. I wish there were more detail in the story and try to get the older one separate
Looks like a bad, bad day for witness protection in Texas. They just don't seem to have it in them to protect anyone.
Isn't she suppose to have them murdered before they testify?
This is waaaaayyyy past appalling. Coincidences don’t exist. DallasPD
Oh I thought it was Botham Jean’s WHITE BEST FRIEND!! What a shame! The gangs can’t stand good ,!honest black witnesses coming forward and telling the truth!!
Someone close to her for sure
maggieNYT FBI needs to investigate this.
Until we have one universal race (the Human Race), we will alwsys have hatred based upon unknown fears. Way to go AP. God created man in his image. Humans say all men created equal. Humans are not living up to their end of the bargain.
This is disturbing. Are the other police officers avenging their colleague? If police turns into violent criminals who will people look forward to save them from these violent criminals.
?
WHERE WAS DallasPD OFFICER MARTIN RIVERA at the time this crucial witness against AmberGuyger murdered?
Why the constant use of race in your headline?
DrGJackBrown I WONDER WHO SHOT HIM?
Why would they “assassinate” a witness when’s she’s already sentenced? A tad counter intuitive isn’t it?
It's almost as if she was in the same cell as Jeffrey Epstein.
White Police State Terrorism did this.
It’s a bit early to say, but it almost seems like Amber is leaving death and destruction in her wake. 2 dead and one fired from her job and they all are linked by Amber walking into someone’s apartment with a gun.
And the award for ‘Most Convoluted Headline’ goes to... **drum roll please** !!! Congratulations !!!
She has some kind of mafia powers!!!!!
maggieNYT What a country! 😹
Can someone explain to me how people get 10 years for smoking weed and ten years for murder?
So the story goes on hey. Police police police. What's going on there
Worldofcraze Not to be nonchalant, but, that throws FORGIVENESS straight out the window.
KTLA Is it like a bad neighborhood or something?
Something fishy!!!!
We better shut up our mouths otherwise we'll be all murdered
Thise Dallas cops are cleaning up. Figures 🙄
This just makes no sense. Why would it be related? She’s in trouble, none of them are. They have nothing to cover up.
A real set up, planned out to take place according to sentence , hit job
maggieNYT
Executed. Wonder if a white cop did it. Wonder if his executioner will walk free. BlackLivesMatter
Be a little late to kill a witness. Doesn't say anything about him being shot by police, either.
HLNCampbell
Police issued I assume
Stop playing dumb, the Dallas Police had him killed and shot him in the mouth to send a message to others not to talk.
So, there's obviously a much bigger story here. One that we will never know
maggieNYT Well the white little female murderer Will have so much fun in prison.. retaliation will find her there
gnesich1 Hmm!
This was the accused who was reported to have been hugged by the victims brother and the judge after sentencing for 10 yrs ?
RIP young man.💎. May your killer be brought to justice speedily.
I bet racist police killed him too. Murder for hire. DPD suspect as hell.
I am sure the manner of death would be 'Natural Cause by being shot in the mouth'
Shady indeed
🤔
I don’t think it’s related , otherwise he would be killed before the trial
KTLA Hire for Hire
I wonder if all the conservatives are going to ask his brother to forgive the killer too...
mmmm very fishy 😱
This is unbelievably sad and heartbreaking.
Let's pretend we don't know what this is
🍦?
Wow 😮 that’s how is gonna be , coincidence yeah right , it’s called mafia pure murder what happened to the integrity of police 👮♀️
maggieNYT Enough already. 15 minutes. That's it. Then we move on from this one. The attempt to turn this into a racist exploitation was ruined by the brother. No place left for the hate to go but in the gutter. That's THE TAKEAWAY. Please refrain from spin on spin.
That’s not a coincidence
Damn never seen something like this before!
The fbi should get involved
Terrible
theymustbefound
What a circus. Throw some more guns into the mix.
KTLA A cop did it. They’ll be found right after they find you pack and biggy’s killer.
Awfully sad
cryborg Shot in the mouth and chest. Definitely retaliation for his testimony.
Snitches get stitches.
maggieNYT Texas
maggieNYT Hope the Feds investigate. I don’t trust the cops
'Joshua Brown was a key witness in the murder of Botham Jean that helped put Amber Guyger away' Now HE is 'put away'...wtf
maggieNYT yeah we don`t need any changes in our gun laws
Ashamed here of all the police hate. Haters here don’t even know any facts. But you blame all police.
This is a fatal Mindset which is far greater then Terrorism or Mafia and we all know who is fueling it. Nations who don't address them head-on are buried in History. God bless our home.
Is this a conspiracy?
roybelly They didn’t even wait a week.
This definitely raises suspicions but why would there be retailiation if she confessed? She would easily have been convicted without his testimony so It seems like there would be no reason.
Megan_Spanish
Parkland Hospital. Of all places. Dallas, you’ve done it again.
Guarantee you it was another black male. Likely worried he’d cooperate with prosecutors against them
roybelly Sure... I’m sure that the police will “investigate” this “shooting”
roybelly Watch... three months from now she’s outta jail on a technicality. Her record will be expunged and she’ll be back to work as a cop
all hugs are off
Ironic
I think it will come out that who ever shot him didnt think he did 'enough'. He told the truth as he was seeming to still relive it. Very sad.
roybelly Wow!
Coincidence? A witness in this murder is now dead just a week After the trial ended. I think the FBI needs to investigate the Dallas police department?
maggieNYT OMG
~botham family~ —maybe—botham’s brother hugging amber and the father preaching about ‘forgiveness’—they are afraid about something—i would be too—i am hugging everyone involved in their situation—let’s see if the family sue anybody after Joshua’s death—
This is so wrong.
These racist white police officers, murdering black ppl like they R killing flies...... racisminamerica
You people are unbelievable. Who kills a witness AFTER the trial? A lot of good it does then.
Is anyone investigating the police?
maggieNYT Should we be expecting Trump to blame Ted Cruz for this?
Orange man broke in and stole pink purse! Asian man broke black mans window. Do you not see how dumb this color crap sounds?
Karma yo!
Sedsaidit Hold up AP. A witness without race assigned in a story where other parties have race assigned.
This seems awfully suspicious...
Wow. There's a LOT more bootlickers on this thread trying to steer the narrative away from revenge murder by cops than I would've expected.
maggieNYT will NOT EVER share your crap when you have to use race baiting in your headline
maggieNYT He had a name! It was Joshua Brown and the ap should have used his photo and name in this tweet. Why do they do this kind of thing over and over
Who shot him? This reads like he was in a gang shooting or something. Put out better headlines
Shot in the mouth and chest? This was personal.
~Joshua brown~ —he also stated that he thought—the cops were visiting them because of the smell of weed—he and botham had discussed this outside of their own apartments—
He was murdered, in the same complex. Innocently, just having parked his car shot at close range once he exited his car. It was a planned hit job. Coincidence, I don’t think so.
~Joshua brown~ —during his testimony he had said that prior to botham jean’s death—he and botham were visited by cops at their apartments on some kind of bogus noise complaint—
Oh now. Coincidence? Good grief.
I think US Police system is one big organized crime mafia.
What
She put the hit out on him.
KTLA Wow all because he testified against a cop.
JamilSmith
(Sounds like somebody was so mad they couldn't wait. This case may be starting up all over again.)
You sure he didn’t have information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Hilary Clinton?
Payback. This goes a lot deeper than we’re being led to believe.
Why is the race of each included here?
So sad!! 🙁
This man was failed by the system terribly. He should have had some protection.
DallasPD um....... a word of advice, find the person who did it. And pray to whatever god or gods you worship, that it isn’t one of you.
Now that’s fucked up.
May his memory be a blessing. Extremely brave to come forward, (and very cool to wear a DBZ shirt to court). 🙏🏻
Do what the Bible teaches you tell the truth help your fellow man or woman and you are murdered for testifying against a rouge police officer and now you are murdered
Only a ignorant none educated person would believe retaliation!
Some of the comments on here are just beyond unbelievable! Leave it to the young ones to holler ' retaliation and racist' who teaches this kids this crap!
The police (or associates of the police) definitely did this. No matter what you pieces of sht with badges will NEVER silence The People. FTP
Those cops love to kill black folks don’t they
Who killed him
As a non American, how am I to read this story? Related or unrelated to the case?
No one is surprised.
JoshuaBrown
Gun violence is endemic in the US.
revenge. Let’s not bullshit.
This should be investigated by the FBI not local yokels
Somehow their going to try and make this racially motivated too...
ACAB
KTLA Conspiracy theories begin 🤦🏼♂️ RIP
Must have had something on the Clintons
Give em 10 years and a hug smh
Trump stopped all federal investigations on police dept across the country... so don’t expect anything to happen here!
I don't think this is a coincidence. Smh
That’s convenience
The jurors are probably sweating bullets now.
Not suspicious at all guys!! There’s nothing to look here
Shame on you posting before family is notified
Well we know who didn’t do it...
This is insane.
Oh damn.
This is who they are murders they try an call you a murder but the truth is this is their MO. The police killed this witness they followed him an gunned him down, watch how they will never find a suspect
Very strange.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Coincidence? Hell. No.
Yes now she can file for an appeal and be free he’s just another unsolved murder case now
You should put his picture when you make news about him AP Joshua Brown, key witness in Amber Guyger murder trial and neighbor of Botham Jean, shot to death in Dallas
His name is JoshuaBrown he was a key witness. The gang in blue had motive. He was shot in the mouth. This is a revenge killing. No more hugs.
🤔 🤔 🤔
That's what happens if you testify against the police in America.
Not normal in any other modern country.
😲
KTLA justashley24 shady
thespookdesk Wait, Clinton is involved in this?
Shocking and very very sad. My prayers go out to this man’s family and loved ones.
MisterAntiBully YOHOHOOH
legaladvice_txt goddamn it
Criminal cops they do exist
This is unbelievable. So very, Very sad.
“Stop resisting!”
He didn't shoot his neighbor and she confessed to what she did. If this was retaliatory, we are in worse shape than I think we are. RIP young man....
Yeah just randomly shot in a parking lot. Hope they call in the FBI or rangers to find this murderer! SoJusticeCanBeServed
Joshua Brown was shot in the mouth 😨 💔
I'm not going to feel comfortable leaving my house again until I get my flu shot and a level IV body armor vest.
Well y’all say snitches get stitches.. Ain’t no stitch gonna help that.. 😂🤣🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
WOW!
🤨
Will the perpetrator get hugs and kisses?
