Former Cop Claims Stand Your Ground After Killing An Innocent Black Man Waiting For A Tow Truck!

Former cop Nouman Raja acted as a “reckless killer” and “angel of death” on the night he shot and killed a stranded motorist beside a road, prosecutors argued Tuesday on day one of his trial.

“Instead of being Corey Jones’ saving grace, he was his angel of death,” Assistant State Attorney Brian Fernandes told the Palm Beach County jury. “He made a decision to shoot first and ask questions later … disgracing the badge that men and women wear.”

But the defense said dangerous police work shouldn’t be “second-guessed” in a situation where Raja clearly acted in self-defense during a stressful encounter at 3:15 a.m. Oct. 18, 2015, at the southbound Interstate 95 off-ramp in Palm Beach Gardens.

“Mr. Raja was lawfully and justifiably defending himself after Mr. Jones pointed a loaded handgun,” attorney Scott Richardson said. “He had every right to defend himself.”
Raja, 41, is charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence and attempted first-degree murder in the encounter with Jones, a 31-year-old housing inspector who also played drums for a reggae band. Raja was working a plainclothes car burglary operation, and Jones was at a gig in Jupiter in the hours before their paths tragically collided.
