Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings and Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall were in attendance at the funeral. According to court documents, Officer Amber Guyger, 30, said she mistook his apartment for her own and thought she encountered a burglar. She also remembered how Jean found his way from St. Lucia to Searcy, Arkansas, where he attended Harding University. She told Jean to apply to the University of the West Indies, but also gave the OK to apply to Harding University, which was expensive. Co-worker Kerry Ray has said Jean lit up a room the moment he stepped in and described him as a selfless and caring man.
