Off-duty cop Amber Guyger entered Botham Jean’s apartment and shot him dead in 2018. She then claimed "I thought it was my apartment," but investigators found that the two apartments had clear differences in decor and layout

Guyger was convicted of murder and handed 10 years.

During the sentencing, Botham Jean's younger brother, Brandt Jean, publicly forgave Guyger and hugged her in court, a moment that gained widespread media coverage for its emotional and unexpected nature.
