“When I left him he was sitting in his car calling roadside assistance. I never would have thought that someone was going to come kill him.”-Mathew Huntsberger, friend of victim killed by cop
In Florida, Palm Beach Gardens police admitted one of their own shot and killed a stranded driver on Interstate 95 (I-95).
The cop was in an unmarked cop car, wearing civilian clothing. Conveniently the car and the cop were not equipped with cameras.
The plain clothes cop claims he was attacked by the person he killed. The cop says he stopped to investigate what he thought was an abandoned SUV at 03:15 hours 18 October 2015. The cop who did the shooting is now on mandatory vacation (administrative leave) while the incident is being investigated.
The victim has no criminal record, and cops claim he bought a gun just three days before the incident. There’s been no explanation why a 31 years old musician who’s never owned a gun would suddenly buy one: “They’re saying he was armed, but I don’t know if I believe it. Of course they’re going to say that!”-Mathew Huntsberger
Police claim the receipt for the purchase of the gun was in the vehicle. It wouldn’t be the first time they lied.
If you do internet searches about Interstate 95 you might be surprised just how many shootings take place on that highway.
