Newark officer Jovanny Crespo is charged with aggravated manslaughter and aggravated assault.
the Newark police officer accused of firing his weapon three times from three locations during a car chase, that ultimately killed the driver and wounded the passenger who Crespo said pointed a gun at him.
The prosecution contends that Crespo’s actions that night crossed the line into criminal recklessness, that his response posed a danger to everyone on the street that night, including his fellow officers who joined the pursuit. He’s about to stand trial in Essex County Superior Court on charges of aggravated manslaughter and aggravated assault, plus two counts each of official misconduct and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
“While the car was driving away, I knew he could still kill me,” Newark officer Jovanny Crespo said of the passenger, whom he claims pointed a gun at him. “He could still kill me. My main thought was getting home to my kids.” Toscano has argued it is irrelevant whether the windows were tinted, because Crespo had every right to shoot at the vehicle since the suspects were believed to be armed and dangerous. His case has drawn the support from police officers around the country and a Virginia-based foundation,Dixon was shot in the face and survived the shooting. Police recovered a .45 handgun in the car and later charged Dixon with illegal possession of a handgun and hollow-point bullets.
