Police kill man off I-95 exit in South Florida

– A Palm Beach Gardens officer shot and killed a man early Sunday morning on the southbound ramp of Interstate 95, but the circumstances of the incident remain unclear.

What’s more, plain-clothed officer Nouman Raja forgot his shield and police radio in his vehicle before his deadly encounter with Jones about 3:15 a.m. – AND ACTUALLY USED HIS PERSONAL CELL PHONE TO CALL 911 in the wake of the shooting!

Corey Jones’ brother, Clinton Jones Jr., heard from Corey just after auto issues left him stranded on the off-ramp.

Family members plan to gather at 5 p.m.at Bible Church of God in Boynton Beach to speak about their son.

Police in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida have refused to explain why an officer shot and killed a black man who was reportedly having vehicle trouble over the weekend.

Investigators with Palm Beach Gardens Police Department have released very little information.

Wright says her cousin, a professional musician, was on his way home from a gig early Sunday morning when his auto broke down. Shortly thereafter he called his brother, saying he would need a ride home after contacting a tow truck.

Banks spoke publicly at the church Corey played drums for and was a well known community figure for volunteering and helping with children, he said. They claim the shooting happened after the officer was confronted by an “armed subject”, but Jones’ family and friends describe the musician as unlikely to start a fight with police. The investigation has been turned over to PBSO. The officer involved has been put on paid administrative which is standard procedure, authorities say.
