When was the last time any of us "inadvertently walked into" an apartment that wasn't ours while we were sober?

I suspect this may be a lover's quarrel gone bad, or the evening up of a grudge.

I never have walked into the wrong apartment but I have gotten lost in a friend's apartment when I went out into the parking lot.

I doubt they know each other. If they did he would probably still be alive.

A picture of it. I lived in a similar looking complex thank God not anymore.

Unless some other evidence comes in but based on what I have seen she tried to get into an apartment that wasn't there and when the owner opened the door was shot.

Apparently, she was banging on the door to get it opened up. It was 10pm, so good chance the person who was killed was in bed, maybe even asleep. Comes to the door a bit groggy, he opens it and the cop shoots as soon as she sees him.

We'll see what turns up.

Hall said that police were obtaining a warrant charging the officer, whom the chief declined to name until she is formally charged. The chief said her blood was drawn to test for alcohol and drugs.

The officer was not able to get into the apartment with her key Bothem Jean came to the door and as he was opening it the officer drew her weapon and shot him.

He's from St Lucia, went to university and had a decent job with an international accounting firm in Dallas.
Murder most foul. Something is very wrong with this story
