According to this article - http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2016/05/nba-player-bryce-dejean-jones-dies-in-dallas-county-at-age-23.html/, it looks like the acquaintance is an estranged girlfriend that was the mother of his child, and he wanted to visit on the kid's first birthday.

Looked him up. Guard, 6’6”
Went from USC to UNLV to Iowa State.
Arrested on visit number 9 by Ames Iowa cops to his apartment a year and a half ago.

I think he is just more urban garbage. Los Angeles area.

He evidently did not consider that a home invasion at 3AM in Texas might have a possible chance of being more dangerous than LA.

Especially amongst certain elements of society.

It happened in Dallas.

The NBA needs to have a school to teach common decency.

[al baby]

I wonder if he was dribbling ll the way to the hospital ?

[trisham]

He kicked open the front door to visit his child? How appropriate. Happy Birthday, son!

IQ = ????

Innumeracy can be a bitch.

Then there is more of a chance the victim gets in trouble. Unlikely though.

[Chode]

let's hope it was a learning experience

[MNnice]

And why would he be breaking into an acquaintance’s apartment?

Dollars to donuts it was a girl's apartment he thought he was breaking into.

 

[trisham]

I’m guessing that those who knew him can look back on his life and see how it all came to this.

[Doogle]

For sure

[Rastus]

I would hope the guy’ll get no-billed, assuming the facts are as described.

[xp38]

Not just the front door but the bedroom door too. I wonder if he was under the influence of something.

Stupid is as stupid does.
