A Newark detective shot an unarmed Dorsey, 39, near South 11th Street and Woodland Avenue, minutes into the 2021 New Year, according to the state Attorney General’s Office.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing the 2021 Newark police killing of an unarmed South Orange man during a controversial New Year’s Day shooting that ignited months of protests.
Robert Tarver, the Dorsey family attorney, said that during the meeting, “We discussed our concerns and the facts of the case. “The investigation included interviews of witnesses, collection of forensic evidence, review of video and autopsy results from the medical examiner,” Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s office said at that time. “The grand jury concluded no criminal charges should be filed against Detective Rod Simpkins of the Newark Police Department, the officer who fired his service weapon.”
