DALLAS (AP) New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot on his daughter’s first birthday after he mistakenly went to the wrong apartment in Dallas.
The man in that apartment shot Dejean-Jones when he began kicking at the bedroom door early Saturday, and the 23-year-old Dejean-Jones collapsed outside on a breezeway. He died at a hospital.
It is legal in Texas for someone to use deadly force to protect themselves from intruders. Authorities didn’t immediately respond to The Associated Press’ request for comment Sunday on whether the man may face charges.
Dejean-Jones was visiting his girlfriend for his daughter’s first birthday and had gone for a walk, according to his agent, Scott W. Nichols. His girlfriend lives on the fourth floor, and Dejean-Jones, who was visiting the complex for the first time, went to the third.
