At Rest

Deadly force
An off-duty Jersey City police officer shot and killed Samir Nicholson in East Orange, police said. The prosecutor's office did not immediately release more information about the circumstances leading up to the killing, which was under investigation by the agency's Professional Standards Bureau. The off-duty Jersey City police officer, Titus Johnson, has been involved in at least two other fatal shootings since 1999. Police said that Johnson observed Nicholson in the act of shooting a person and then shot and killed Nicholson.
This record exists so that Samir C. Nicholson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
