BREAKING: Ex-Florida police officer gets 25 years in motorist's death
A former Florida police officer has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the fatal shooting of a stranded black motorist in 2015.
The 41-year-old officer was in plain clothes and driving an unmarked van when he confronted Jones, a black drummer whose SUV had broken down as he returned from a late-night performance. Judge Joseph Marx presided over Thursday's sentencing of fired Palm Beach Gardens officer Nouman Raja in the 2015 death of 31-year-old Corey Jones.
