There may be relevant video footage in the Corey Jones police shooting that authorities haven't yet disclosed, according to the lawyer representing the slain man's family.
Benjamin Crump, the high-profile civil rights attorney retained by Jones' family, for the first time Wednesday addressed Jones' death on national TV, urging authorities to immediately answer pertinent questions surrounding the death.
Police have said there is no body- or dashboard-camera video that shows Palm Beach Gardens Police Officer Nouman Raja opening fire on Jones, a 31-year-old Boynton Beach man. However, the shooting happened early Sunday off the southbound exit ramp of Interstate 95 at PGA Boulevard, a major thoroughfare.
The president and CEO of the Urban League of Palm Beach County, Patrick Franklin, on Wednesday asked for a "thorough and independent investigation that brings clarity and light to all the details surrounding the untimely death of Corey Jones."
"It is our hope that the investigation is both transparent and expedient in order to bring peace to the family and begin the healing process for our community," Franklin said. "During this time, we ask that the community remain peaceful and offer their prayers and support to Corey's family."
