DALLAS – Family and friends of a man shot and killed by a Dallas police officer five years ago today are encouraging people to spread acts of service and kindness in his honor.

Botham Jean died on Sept. 6, 2018.

Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger shot him after walking into his apartment, believing it was her own.

Guyger is now serving a 10-year prison sentence for the murder.

Jean’s sister, Allisa Charles-Findley, released a book this week detailing her healing process over the past five years.
