Former Palm Beach Gardens police officer, Norman Raja, has been charged in the murder of gospel musician Corey Jones. In October 2015, Jones was leaving a late night performance when his car broke down. While he was on the phone with AT&T roadside assistance, Raja confronted him. In what the arrest report calls “heated,” Raja asked Jones, was he “good,” and Jones replied that he was “fine.” It was then without provocation that Raja began to yell at Jones, telling him to get his hands up. Before Jones was able to do so, telling the officer to please hold on, Raja shot at him three times.

It can be heard on the recording that Raja shot Jones again ten seconds later. This time the shots were slower and deliberate. After the shooting, Raja called 911 and told his own rendition of the story stating that Jones pointed a gun at him and started charging towards him, forcing him to open fire.

State Attorney Dave Kronberg announced today that the grand jury has declared the shooting unjustified, resulting in the arrest of Norman Raja. The former officer now faces attempted murder and manslaughter charges. The family of Corey Jones release a statement which reads: “We were relieved to learn that Officer Norman Raja, who senselessly killed Corey Jones, was arrested earlier today and will face criminal charges for his reckless act. While we understand that nothing can bring back our son, brother and friend, this arrest sends a message that this conduct will not be tolerated from members of law enforcement.”

It is important to note that Officer Raja was in plain clothes and in an unmarked car. Because of this, he was not easily identifiable as a police officer when approaching Jones. Only in a few states like New York can officers in unmarked cars be prohibited from making traffic stops in the state. Until Florida is one, this will continue to be not just an issue for Florida, but for states across this nation.
