Summary
The former Palm Beach Gardens officer, Nouman Raja, was convicted of manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder in the October 2015, shooting death of 31-year-old Corey Jones. On Oct. 18, 2015, Jones was stranded with car troubles on Interstate 95 in Palm Beach Gardens around 3:15 a.m. when Raja pulled up in an unmarked car to investigate what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle. During the trial, prosecutors said Raja never identified himself as a police officer and acted so aggressively, surmising that Jones must have suspected he was being targeted for a carjacking. "Just because he was a police officer at the time, he does not get a pass for what he did to Corey Jones," Assistant State Attorney Adrienne Ellis said during her closing argument to the jury on Wednesday.
