Attorneys Daryl Parks, Benjamin Crump, Skinner Louis and Kweku Darfoor speak to the media on behalf of the family of Corey Jones.
What happened
On October 18, 2015, Corey Jones, a 31-year-old church drummer, was waiting for roadside assistance beside his broken-down car on an Interstate 95 off-ramp in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. A plainclothes Palm Beach Gardens police officer in an unmarked van approached him and fatally shot him. In 2019, the former officer, Nouman Raja, was convicted of manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The family’s civil case
The Injury Advocates, led by Kweku Darfoor, was part of the legal team representing the Jones family. In 2023, the City of Palm Beach Gardens agreed to a $2 million settlement with the family.
Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee a future outcome.
