[dropcap]A[/dropcap]family has been plunged into mourning following the horrific and untimely death of their kin, Botham Shem Jean, a Saint Lucian man who resided in Dallas, Texas. Reports indicate that 26-year-old Jean was in his apartment on September 6 when he was shot and killed by an off-duty female police officer.
Sgt. Warren Mitchell of the Dallas Police Department provided a statement on the matter: “Last night, just before 10 pm, a Dallas officer called police dispatch saying she had just been involved in a shooting. Preliminary information suggests that the officer was in full uniform and just finished working a full shift. She reported that when she came home she entered into the victim’s apartment believing it was her own apartment. At some point, she pulled her weapon and shot the victim.”
Jean attended both the St. Mary’s College and the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. After graduating from the SALCC in 2010, he moved on to Harding University in Arkansas where he graduated in 2016. At the time of his demise he was employed at Price Waterhouse Cooper in Dallas.
Botham Jean, the son of Mrs. Allison Jean and Mr. Bertram Jean, was also the nephew of former national footballer Earl Jean and former parliamentarian Ignatius Jean. Shocked by his passing, Earl Jean wrote in a social media post: “Never thought this day would come. I wanted to be there for you always my boy. How can this nasty world take you away from me? This is the worst day of my life. Uncle loves you so much!”
In a related post, his mother said: “My son, I love you. You were taken away from us so senselessly. You loved God and mankind. You did no wrong. RIP my Bo.”
