In response to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles granting former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger parole , a candlelight vigil honoring Botham Jean took place on Friday.

This week, Botham Jean would have turned 35. "We're here today to stand in solidarity with Botham Jean's family and let them know and to let the world know in that they're not alone in their grief," John Fullinwider said.
