New video has emerged of the immediate aftermath of a deadly shooting on Thursday which saw a black accountant gunned down by a white police woman after she mistakenly entered his home thinking it was hers.
The footage shows a female cop crying into her phone on a walkway of the Dallas apartment block seconds before 26-year-old Botham Jean is pulled past on a trolley as medics desperately try to revive him.
The officer was named on Saturday as Amber Guyger, who had worked for Dallas Police Department for four years on the Southeast Patrol Division. She has been charged with manslaughter.

Guyger returned home in her uniform after her shift, according to police.
She called dispatch to report that she had shot a man, and she later told the officers who responded that she believed the victim's apartment was her own when she entered.
The responding officers administered first aid to Jean, a native of the Caribbean island country of St Lucia who attended Harding University in Arkansas and worked for accounting and consulting firm PwC. Jean was taken to a hospital, where he died.
The video was taken by a neighbor of Jean's and posted on her Instagram account. It has not yet been confirmed whether the female officer in the footage was Guyger.
Her blood has been drawn to be tested for drugs and alcohol, according to Police Chief Renee Hall. She declined to speculate as to whether fatigue or other factors, including race, may have factored into the shooting.
She also said the Texas Rangers will conduct an independent investigation.
'Right now, there are more questions than we have answers,' Hall told a news conference. She said she spoke to Jean's sister to express the department's condolences to the family.
Authorities have not said how Guyger got into Jean's home, or whether his door was open or unlocked. The block of flats is just a few streets from Dallas police headquarters.
Jean, 26, a devout Christian who worked for the accounting firm PwC, could not be revived and died in hospital. His killer has been named as Officer Amber Guyger
Jean grew up on the Caribbean Island of St Lucia and studied at Harding University in Arkansas. He is seen above in a Facebook photo

Residents of the building said they can access their units with a key or through a keypad code.
Jeffrey Scherzer, who lives at the complex, said when he returned home late at night an officer escorted him to his flat and warned him to steer clear of a blood trail.
Jean's mother, Allison, suggested in an interview on Friday that her son might still be alive if he was white.
'I didn't know she was white until now. If it was a white man would it have been different? Would she have reacted differently?' she told KXAS.
Allison, who has held government posts in St. Lucia, where she lives and where her son grew up, said her son's death 'just feels like a nightmare.'
Jean was remembered as a devout Christian who regularly led worship when he was at Harding University
Jean graduated from Harding University in 2016, and is pictured speaking speaking there in 2014
State Senator Royce West also raised the racial aspect of the shooting, telling a press conference on Saturday: 'Is this a white on black crime? Yes,' he said, according to the Star-Telegram.
'It was a white, female Dallas police officer who shot and killed a person from St. Lucia of African descent.
'Is this a race-related crime? Don't know. I would hold any type of decision you make on what happened until all of the facts come in.'
West said Guyger entered the apartment through an open door: 'We need to find out whether there was a personal relationship,' he said. 'There are so many facts that need to be looked at before determining what kind of homicide this is.'
The island country's government issued a statement Friday expressing 'shock' at the killing and extending condolences to the Jean family. It said officials at its embassy in the US would provide assistance to the family.
Harding University said on Friday Jean often led campus worship services while he was a student.
Family and friends described Jean as a devout Christian and a talented singer. His uncle Ignatius Jean said the slaying left relatives devastated and looking for answers.
'You want to think it's fiction ... and you have to grapple with the reality,' he said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
