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. Brown says he lived directly across the hall from Jean. 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-dour 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. No video yet from reliable news source, so I include his testimony.
