Amber Guyger witness Joshua Brown (center) was targeted for death in an ‘assassination,’ his family’s lawyer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview Sunday. And S. Lee Merritt (right) said he is refusing to rule out that police were somehow involved in the shooting that took Brown’s life just two days after his evidence had helped convict the Dallas cop of the murder of neighbor Botham Jean in a nationally watched trial. ‘It is a possibility,’ Merritt said. ‘I don’t have any evidence other than the timing, but I am not ruling anything out. ‘But what I do know is that Joshua was targeted. This was an assassination. He pulled into his parking lot and he was shot. The perpetrators fled. They didn’t steal anything from him. ‘This is a kid who had no gang ties, there was no lover’s quarrel. He was an AirBnB host and roofer. All the usual suspects of crime, drugs and sex are simply not there.’

Joshua Brown, 28, was shot dead outside an apartment complex in Dallas, Texas on Friday and his family’s attorney S. Lee Merritt has called it an ‘assassination’.

Merritt described Brown as ‘a truly genuine soul that was loved deeply by his family and friends.’
‘I will work to get to the bottom of his murder,’ he added.
Brown, 28, was shot in the parking lot of the Atera apartment complex in Dallas’s upscale Medical District around 10:30 pm on Friday. He was rushed to nearby Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Witnesses say they heard several gunshots and saw a silver sedan speeding out of the apartment complex’s parking lot shortly after.
Merritt said he was originally told Brown had been shot in the mouth and chest, although he now says he is waiting for confirmation of the bullet wounds from the Medical Examiner.
His Saturday tweet claiming Brown had been shot in the mouth led to dozens of online comments that he had been killed because he had given evidence against a police officer and that shooting him in the mouth was a message to others.
‘This has ‘HIT’ by ‘COP’ written all over it,’ tweeted Twitter user DJW in reply to Merritt’s message.
