The state attorney general’s office said a grand jury declined to file charges.
A New Jersey state police sergeant won’t face criminal charges after heThe state attorney general’s office said a state grand jury declined to charge Sgt. Randall Wetzel in the shooting death of 28-year-old Maurice Gordon. He died two days before George Floyd was killed by police in Minneapolis, touching off a nationwide examination of the use of lethal force by police officers.
Dashcam videos released by the attorney general’s office show Wetzel asked Gordon to move his car to the shoulder, but Gordon’s car wouldn’t start. Wetzel let Gordon wait inside the police cruiser for a tow truck. But Gordon can be seen trying to open the door several times as Wetzel motions him to get back in.
Gordon’s death in May 2020 sparked calls to improve crisis intervention training for police amid a greater reckoning for police reforms across the country. Wagstaff had previously called for an independent investigation into the death as the state police are part of the attorney general’s office.
