'Who Will Protect Her?': Concerns Grow for Safety of Black Female Witness In Amber Guyger Murder Case After Key Witness Joshua Brown Was Shot Dead

Concerns have resurfaced about the safety of a young woman who filmed the moments after a white ex-Dallas cop shot Black PwC associate Botham Jean

Concerns have resurfaced about the safety of a young woman who filmed the moments after a white ex-Dallas cop shot Black PwC associate Botham Jean following the death of another witness in the case.

Joshua Brown, a Black 28-year-old man, was shot to death Friday at his Dallas apartment complex 10 days after he testified Sept. 25 that he saw Amber Guyger on the phone in the hallway moments after she shot Jean.

Although authorities haven’t confirmed many details surrounding Brown’s death, social media users worried Guyger’s highly publicized murder trial may have put those who testified in danger.

“Im not the conspiracy type, but an outside agency needs to investigate the @DallasPD for the murder of Joshua Brown,” marketing consultant Frederick Joseph tweeted Saturday.

“How did a educated black entrepreneur man get gunned down in an nonviolent apartment complex with no affiliation with gangs or drug trafficking. @DallasPD@dallasnews@DallasMayor ??? How? #Justice4JoshuaBrown,” the health and fitness page Black Girls Workout tweeted Saturday.

“#Justice4JoshuaBrown was first. She will be next if not placed in witness protection. But who will protect her? The police? She has no protection. I’m afraid for her life. My God. So easy, so covered in protection that they can scheme to snuff out young black lives like that,” Agape Love All Day tweeted Sunday.

Ronnie Babbs, who uses the name Bunny on social media, told the Advise Media Network in a videotaped interview in January that she had been receiving death threats and was fired from her job after she uploaded footage showing the aftermath of the Dallas cop shooting to social media. After going public with her account of the repercussions of her video upload, Babbs launched a GoFundMe drive for herself that has raised more than $60,000, with many donations pouring in anew since Brown was killed.

The woman said she hadn’t planned on uploading the video but changed her mind when she saw reports that contradicted what she taped.

Babbs said she began recording from a lower floor’s staircase railing about 60 seconds after hearing two gunshots and hearing a male voice say: “Oh my God. Why did you do that?”

“It was just a lot of crying, a lot of hysterics,” Babbs said. “She was just pacing back-and-forth for at least seven minutes, according to my video.”

Dallas grand jury indicts Amber Guyger, fired officer who killed Botham Jean in alleged apartment mixup

The grand jury decided to indict Guyger on a murder charge for the Sept. 6 killing of Jean, an unarmed black man.

On Thursday, September 6, off-duty police officer Amber Guyger entered the apartment of 26-year old Botham “Bo” Jean and shot him dead. He was--surprise, surprise--unarmed.

Guyger, who lived on a different floor in the same building, claimed that “she entered the victim’s apartment believing that it was her own,” and shot Jean thinking he was an intruder:

“Guyger told authorities she had mistakenly parked on the fourth floor instead of the third and inserted her key into Jean’s door, which was slightly ajar. She told authorities the apartment was nearly completely dark and she thought she was being burglarized, gave verbal commands that were ignored and fired twice.”

Because don’t you always sit around in the dark in your apartment with the door open? And ignore the police officer who barges in pointing a gun at you?

Witnesses contradicted Guyger’s story. One neighbor reported that “he heard an exchange of words immediately followed by two gunshots.”

“Two independent witnesses had come forward to say they heard knocking on the door in the hallway before the shooting. ... one witness reported hearing a woman’s voice saying, ‘Let me in, let me in.’ Then they heard gunshots ... After the gunshots, one of the witnesses reported hearing what she thought was a man’s voice saying, ‘Oh my God, why did you do that.’”

Because don’t you always knock on your own door and yell “Let me in”? Especially when the door is already ajar?

The police got a search warrant for Jean’s apartment. Among the items they recovered was some marijuana and a “ballistic vest with ‘police’ markings.” Because don’t you always wear a bullet-proof vest home? And take the time to remove it after you’ve shot someone?

Guyger was charged with manslaughter. She posted bond and was released the same day. A few weeks later she was fired--not, officially, for shooting and killing Jean, but rather for engaging in unspecified “adverse conduct when she was arrested for manslaughter.”

Meanwhile, investigators got a search warrant for the electronic door locks on both apartments, which are accessed with RFID keys.

“The report should show whether Guyger unlocked her own door before going to Jean’s apartment. It would also show whether she placed her key in Jean’s door. ... If data stored inside the locks does show Jean’s door was locked, it would support statements by Jean’s family’s attorneys who say witnesses heard someone banging on Jean’s door shouting ‘let me in!’ Alternatively, the data could show the door was unlocked and ajar, as Guyger told police.”

They also got a search warrant for surveillance camera footage. We don’t know the results of either search warrant.

We do, however, know that the grand jury presented with the evidence declined to indict Guyger for manslaughter.

She was indicted for Jean’s murder.

How to deal with a very obvious murder

A step-by-step tutorial

Step 1: Kill man in his own house

Step 2: Put murderer on paid leave, arrest her earliest three days after the murder and let her out of prison as soon as possible

Step 3: Ignore that half her statements just don’t work/make sense (not mentioned below is that she later claimed that the door was ajar. The doors of that apartment building are physically not able to stay ajar without something wedged between and she should know that as a resident)

Step 4: Ignore witnesses that clearly state that it is unlikely to have been an “accident”

Step 5: Ignore how likely it had been in general for her to think it had been her place

Step 6: Start justifying why a guy got shot in his own house (note: it was found by the Dallas Police Dept [instead of the Texas Rangers who did the first investigation], lawyers believe it to be planted)

Step 7: Put all ressources on finding something on the victim. Don’t do anything regarding the killer other than take a blood sample.

Step 8: Be a bit down that your coffee break with lovely fellow citizens had been rescheduled
