Amber Guyger, the Dallas police officer accused of fatally shooting her neighbor Botham Shem Jean inside his own apartment, has been dismissed from her job, according to reports.

The Dallas Police Department on Monday reportedly fired Guyger, weeks after she shot and killed the 26-year-old, the Associated Press reported. According to court records, Guyger said that she shot Jean because she entered his house mistaking it to be her own home and thought Jean was standing in her living room.
