NEW JERSEY — New Jersey's top law enforcement official has finished an initial investigation into the fatal shooting by a state trooper of a black man after a traffic stop and is expected to release video from the incident on Monday, according to the attorney general's office.
Many details about the shooting have not been released, but the attorney general said in statement to the Courier Post newspaper late Sunday that the initial investigation was completed and that video and audio recordings would be released soon. Attorney General Gurbir Grewal's office said Monday in an email that they would be released later in the day.
The attorney for Gordon's family said in a phone interview that he had seen the video, but said it was cut off with about 15 minutes remaining, and decried the attorney general and governor for their handling of the case.
William O. Wagstaff III is representing Gordon's mother, father and sister. He said they were told they needed to come in person to view the video before it was released and under the officials' supervision, instead of watching in the privacy of their homes.
