The jury at the trial for Amber Guyger, the Dallas police officer who went into a man’s apartment and shot him dead, heard the 911 call that Guyger made after shooting 26-year-old Botham Jean on Sept. 2018.

Guyger, 31, has said the shooting was accidental because she thought she had entered her own apartment and mistook Jean for an intruder. She lived one floor below Jean. She was charged with murder on Nov. 30.
