But how would they lock you out when you've got the key? Would you think a burglar changed the lock? It's not like pushing on the door and finding it barricaded. She apparently went from "my key doesn't work" to "deadly threat!" in microseconds. Maybe for most of us there would have been some intermediate steps.
And even if she heard somebody in the place, in a big complex it could just as easily have been the engineer doing an emergency repair. Toilets overflow at all hours. There is no justification for this killing. |

After hearing her try to get in without announcing that she's a cop, then hearing her demand that I open up, I'd have yelled to her that I was calling 911 and I was waiting for some sane officers to arrive.

Maybe he recorded some of the exchange on his cell phone before he was killed.
I wonder if he tried to tell her she had the wrong apartment? |

A deadbolt. She may have thought that the only reason her key isn't getting her in is because a deadbolt has been engaged from the inside. I don't know how these locks work but maybe an incorrect key can be fully inserted and turned but it won't open the mechanism.

So she demanded that he open the door, he saw that she was a cop and opened the door, and she immediately shot him twice.

Joe, please don't ruin the thread. It's quite reasonable for her to feel threatened if she thinks that there is a burglar in her apartment. That's not offered here as an excuse but rather as an explanation.
It's terrible that this guy was killed and it should not have happened. |

A deadbolt is a mechanism that physically bolts the door to the frame, as opposed to a springloaded latch lock that can be popped with a credit card. You still use a key to operate a deadbolt.
And even if the key didn't work, most people would think "There's something wrong with my lock, gotta call somebody," not "There's a burglar waiting to kill me!" |

I am very familiar with apartment living. The management is entitled to enter the unit with reasonable -- usually considered 24 hours -- notice except during emergencies. The tenant doesn't get to say "You can never come into my place," nor can the tenant require notice when there's a broken pipe, gas leak etc. It's at least possible that if someone was in "her" unit, they had cause. Of course, "the rules" are based on the notion that the management will comply with them. If they don't, it's a civil matter, and there's not really much you can do about it except complain to the housing authorities.

It sounds like she had to be on the right floor, and this guy must have been a neighbor of hers.

Which it would be if he had left his door unlocked and she stuck her key in to unlock it and then turned the handle and it opened. She would likely leave her keys there as she left he door locked and now assumes someone has broken into her apartment. Or at least, I don't think her keys being there are inconsistent with the story.
Still, such a silly ******* way to die. I really can't comprehend how to deal with a family member dying like this. |

Some would have thought that the impending manslaughter warrant was more significant than the details of who is conducting the investigation.

I'm surprised they didn't arrest her at the scene .
Secure blood work, get a statement from her. This seems very shady. |
