Well...kinda weird coincidence
Botham Jean's neighbor, a key witness in Amber Guyger trial, shot to death in Dallas
Joshua Brown died at the hospital after Friday night's shooting in the 4600 block of Cedar Springs Road.
Updated at 5:30 p.m. with the victim's identity
A key witness in Amber Guyger's murder trial was shot and killed Friday evening at an apartment complex near Dallas' Medical District, authorities said.
Joshua Brown, a neighbor of Botham Jean's and Guyger at the South Side Flats apartments, was slain about 10:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of Cedar Springs Road.
Brown, 28, lived across the hall from Jean and testified about the night he was killed.
Dallas County prosecutor Jason Hermus, the lead prosecutor in the Guyger case, said Saturday that Brown stood up at a time when others won't say what they know.
"He bravely came forward to testify when others wouldn't, " Hermus said. "If we had more people like him, we would have a better world."
n Friday night, several witnesses flagged down police and directed them to Brown's location. Police found him on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver four-door sedan speeding out of the parking lot.
No suspect description had been released.
