On September 6, 2018, White Dallas police officer Amber Guyger opened the door of Apartment 1478. Inside, Botham Jean lay on his couch, having hung up from his daily call with his sister, Allisa. She’d encouraged her brother to stay home for the night’s opening Dallas Cowboys game as sports bars would be too dangerous. Guyger instantly assumed the large black man watching the game was a burglar in her home. She shot him, then failed to render aid as he succumbed to the wound she’d inflicted. Officer Guyger forever altered the lives of the hundreds who knew and loved this kind-hearted young man who lead worship at his church and worked diligently at Price Waterhouse Cooper. Botham's murder shocked the nation. And it devastated his sister. After Botham is Allisa’s story of what happened to her brother and how she fought through the aftermath to find life.
Allisa Charles-Findley is the sister of Botham Jean and the president of the Botham Jean Foundation, which promotes Christian intervention for social change. She is also president of Sisters of the Movement, a coalition of sisters of police-brutality victims working in unity. She holds a Master's in Healthcare Management and, prior to her current social-justice work, spent fifteen years in health insurance.
