New Jersey's attorney general has released police dash-camera videos and 911 recordings of a series of incidents leading up to a fatal freeway shooting of a 28-year-old unarmed black man by a white state trooper last month.
"Our team of independent investigators has been working hard to complete the initial investigation into the shooting death of Maurice Gordon as quickly as possible. That initial investigation is now complete," Grewal said in a statement before releasing the videos and 911 tapes.
The family of Maurice Gordon, a 28-year-old black New York college student, is demanding answers on why a white New Jersey state trooper shot him to death after a freeway traffic stop on May 23, 2020.Barrett, who flew to the United States from Great Britain following her son's death, said Gordon was a student at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, where he was studying chemistry.
Video from inside the vehicle showed Gordon unbuckling his seatbelt and trying to get out only to be told by Wetzel to stay put. But once he opened the door, Gordon unbuckled his seatbelt and bolted from the vehicle. Wetzel can be heard repeatedly yelling at Gordon to get back into the car. A rear-facing camera inside the vehicle captured the two men struggling outside before Gordon appears to break free and attempts to open the driver's side door and get into the driver's seat of the patrol car.
