The apartment was dark and when she saw "a large silhouette," Guyger thought she was being burglarized, the affidavit says.
Guyger drew her gun, "gave verbal commands that were ignored" and fired twice, investigators wrote. Jean was struck once in the torso.
Guyger then called 911 from her cellphone and started giving first aid. She turned on the lights, then returned to the front door and realized the apartment wasn't hers, the affidavit says.
She told the 911 operator as well as responding officers that she had thought she was at her apartment when she shot Jean, according to the affidavit.
Jean was taken to Baylor University Medical Center, where he died.
Lawyers for Jean's family disputed the narrative in the arrest warrant affidavit at a news conference streamed live by WFAA-TV (Channel 8) Monday evening, saying Jean was a meticulous man who wouldn't have neglected to close and lock his door.
One attorney, Lee Merritt, said two independent witnesses had come forward to say they heard knocking on the door in the hallway before the shooting. Merritt said one witness reported hearing a woman's voice saying, "Let me in, let me in." Then they heard gunshots, he said.
