NJ state police under scrutiny after killing of black man

The family of a black man killed in a confrontation with a police officer want to find out the truth about what happened, amid a broader national uproar over racial inequities in policing.

Maurice Gordon Jr., 28, died after being pulled over on New Jersey's Garden State Parkway early on the morning of May 23. He had apparently been stopped because he was suspected of speeding.

Gordon, who was born in Jamaica but was living in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., died after being shot by a New Jersey state trooper.

According to William Wagstaff, the attorney for Gordon's family, Gordon was handcuffed by the trooper after he was shot.
