It was a neighbor, who reported that "black men" were "breaking into" the next-door house.
Honestly, the neighbor has to bear some of the blame if she (it was a woman, according to one article) can't recognize her own neighbor, who's lived there for (I think) a number of years.
And then there is the completely unjustified behavior of the police.
Racism everywhere in this incident. It's very ugly.
