New Orleans Pelicans rookie guard Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot after breaking down the door to a Dallas apartment, authorities said Saturday. He was 23. A man living at the apartment was sleeping when he heard his front door kicked open, Dallas Police Senior Corporal DeMarquis Black said in a statement. When Dejean-Jones began kicking at the bedroom door, the man retrieved a handgun and fired. Dejean-Jones later died at a hospital.Dejean-Jones was visiting his girlfriend for his daughter’s first birthday, which was Saturday, according to his agent, Scott W. Nichols. He said the girlfriend returned to the apartment first while Dejean-Jones went for a walk after they had gone out. She lives on the fourth floor, and Dejean-Jones, who was visiting the complex for the first time, went to the third. ‘‘He went to the wrong apartment unfortunately and I think he thought his girlfriend locked him out, so he was knocking on the door, banging on the door, it’s locked,’’ Nichols said. ‘‘So one thing led to another.’’
