One new, small detail which is meaningful to me:
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-police/2018/09/09/botham-jeans-door-unlocked-amber-guyger-mistook-apartment-official-saysQuote
Officer Amber Guyger had just ended a 15-hour shift when she parked on the wrong level of the South Side Flats garage— the fourth floor instead of the third, where she lived. Guyger, who was still in uniform, put her key in the door, which was unlocked, and the door opened, the official said. The lights were out. She saw a figure in the darkness and thought her apartment was being burglarized, the official said. Guyger pulled her gun and fired twice.
Obviously, there are many different types of doors. But, for most doors, if you put the wrong key into an unlocked door and attempt to perform the same muscle-memory action of unlocking it, wouldn't you notice something was off? In most cases, wouldn't the key not actually slide all the way in?
So, is this story saying that she noticed "her door" was unlocked before she got there? Or that she proceeded in believing that she had unlocked it as normal and then was surprised to find a man in there? In the second second scenario, wouldn't the first thing she would do be to turn on the lights?
The lights remaining off would make it more believable for her to walk around still confused about which apt she was in.
