Rumor Control: Dallas Cop Who Killed Botham Jean In ‘Wrong Apartment’ Case Did NOT Know Him

Image via UpperCut Image/Getty Officer Amber Guyger Did Not Know Botham Jean Before Killing Him Officer Amber Guyger did not know the black man she fatally shot in that “wrong apartment” shooting. As previously reported Dallas Officer Guyger shot Botham Shem Jean after she walked into what she reportedly believed to be her own apartment at the South Side Flats, located only about a block away from police headquarters. Since then rumors have run rampant that the officer and the victim actually knew each other and previously dated. A picture of them allegedly together then surfaced on social media. According to WFAA however, that’s completely untrue. A source with knowledge of the investigation told WFAA that rumors that the two knew each other and/or were involved are false. Attorney Lee Merritt, who is representing Jean’s family, also said that Jean did not know Guyger, according to family members. “We have nothing to substantiate those claims,” Merritt told reporters at a press conference Saturday. Guyger is currently on administrative leave.

White House Makes Like Mean Girls, Tells Off Bo

It’s not often that the world of politics, movies and comedy melds together so perfectly as they do in the following picture, Tweeted out by the White House earlier today. It would make Regina George proud: With the caption “Bo, stop trying to make fetch happen,” millions of Mean Girls fans have just Liked the White House on Facebook. It’s actually a little surprising it took this long. Surely someone there at one time thought of “Oh my god, Karen, you just can’t ask people why they’re white.” Or at the very least: “Oh hell no. I did NOT leave the South Side for this!” No word yet on when Lindsay Lohan will be meeting up with President Obama and Bo in the cafeteria.

Stop The Violence: Man Kills 42-Year-Old Gentleman’s Club Manager In Fender Bender Accident

Ninjas are dying everyday over stupid ish. Man Murders Gentleman’s Club Manager According to CBS Chicago A Lake View man was charged with murder Thursday for allegedly fatally shooting a Far South Side gentleman’s club manager outside a sportscar after an early Sunday fender bender on the Near North Side. Angelo Bennett, 24, of the 4300 block of North Ashland Avenue, was charged with one count each of first-degree murder, aggravated battery / discharge of a firearm and attempted first-degree murder, police said. Bennett is accused of killing Charles Jones, the manager of a Far South Side gentleman’s club, and wounding a woman inside the sports car he was driving during an early Sunday shooting in the Goose Island area. The shooting started about 2:50 a.m., after a 2005 Buick LaCrosse sideswiped a Maserati in the 1000 block of North Branch Street on the Near North Side, police said. The driver of the Maserati, 42-year-old gentleman’s club manager Charles Jones, was shot dead, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Jones was a manager of The Factory Chicago, a gentleman’s club in the 12000 block of South Doty Avenue, a police source said. The club posted on its Twitter account Sunday morning, “God called his soldier home … R.I.P. Charles Jones.” Jones had pulled over after the crash and got out of the sports car to talk to the driver of the Buick, police said. The driver of the Buick and a passenger then exited the car, walked over to another vehicle and came back to the Maserati, police said. One of them then opened fire on Jones and a 44-year-old woman inside the Maserati. Jones was shot in the head and a 44-year-old woman in the passenger’s seat was struck in the back or hip, authorities said. Jones was declared dead at 3:33 a.m. at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where the woman was taken in “stable” condition, authorities said. Jones was driving a car with Texas license plates, but apparently lived on the Near North Side, a police source said. However, the medical examiner’s office listed his home address as Miami, Fla. Bennett is scheduled to appear in bond court Friday, police said. Black men stay getting caught up in a n**** moment.
