New Jersey's attorney general 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.
In five separate episodes leading up to Gordon's death, police had encounters with him, twice after finding him in his disabled car -- once after he had run out of gas. New Jersey police also pulled him over twice for allegedly driving over 100 m.p.h., according to New Jersey State Attorney General Gurbir Singh Grewal.
"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. Grewal said that Sgt. Wetzel pulled over Gordon's black Honda Civic at 6:26 a.m. on May 23, after clocking the car speeding down the Garden State Parkway at 110 m.p.h. He said that during the stop, Gordon's vehicle became disabled and wouldn't start, so Wetzel called for a tow truck.
