A former Florida police officer was ordered to spend 25 years in prison for the fatal on-duty shooting of a black musician whose SUV had broken down after a late-night concert, one of the toughest sentences ever handed down in an on-duty shooting.

Former Florida police officer Nouman Raja is brought into the courtroom for sentencing Thursday in West Palm Beach.

Raja had faced a possible sentencing range of 25 years to life in prison, and both prosecutor Adrienne Ellis and the father of the victim had urged the judge to impose the maximum. Raja, of Asian descent, was in plain clothes as part of an auto burglary investigation team when he spotted Jones’ SUV at 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2015. Jones was returning home from a nightclub performance by his reggae band when his vehicle stalled. He had a concealed-weapons permit and carried a handgun, purchased days earlier to protect his $10,000 drum set, which was in the SUV.

What police didn’t know at first was that Jones had been talking to a tow-truck dispatcher on a recorded line. That recording shows Jones saying “Huh?” as his door opens. Raja yells, “You good?” Jones says he is. Raja replies twice, “Really?” with Jones replying, “Yeah.”

Interesting. The cop doesn't look white. I also want to know about what happened to the cop that slammed delucca to the ground making him bleed.

About time

I recall that incident wondered what happened now I know. Great! Cop had no reason to pull his weapon on guy to shoot & kill. Cop in NJ was convicted killing guy at strip club. They got into fight cop pulls weapon.

The death of the victim was tougher

Don’t call NCPD when your car tire pops and your a man with a bad back because you served in the military. They will just laugh at you for having someone else changing your tire in an unknown area. Also, this Florida cop is going to have a bad days in prison.

Notice the entire American propaganda news service industry tip toeing around the wording here. 'Former' police officer seems to be the word of this story. Now they're mentioning 'on duty'. Basically, this racist white pig, a police officer, shot and killed an innocent black man.

Thats justice. Also must be easier when its not a white cop.

great

Former police officer sentenced to 25 years in killing of black manIt marks the first time in 30 years a Florida cop is going to prison for an on-duty shooting. He won't last the whole 25 years. Got his as* with the quickness... tamir rice tho... not so much Glad the Jones family got justice. But let’s be real, if Nouman Raja was “Norman Randall” [👮], all charges would be dropped and he’d be promoted to sheriff in a neighboring town
