On September 4, 2018, just days before Guyger shot Jean, she received a message suggesting that she would like a German shepherd that the messenger claimed was racist. Ahead of jury deliberations, Judge Tammy Kemp instructed the jury to decide if Guyger shooting dead her neighbor was reasonable under the circumstances. In a frantic 911 call played repeatedly during the trial, Guyger said 'I thought it was my apartment' nearly 20 times. Prosecutors made the argument that Guyger was distracted by her phone conversation with Rivera when she mistook Jean's apartment for hers. Officers could be seen running towards Jean's apartment as Guyger screamed out that she was off-duty.
