At Rest

Deadly force
Joseph Walker, a detective with the New Jersey Prosecutor's Officer, was driving with family members in a minivan when he cut off Joseph Harvey Jr. and his passenger. Harvey allegedly responded by hurling racial epithets, throwing a soda can at the minivan and trying to run the Walkers off the road. After both vehicles came to a stop, Walker got out and identified himself as a police officer and Harvey advanced up Walker. Walker shot and killed Harvey. He was found not guilty of homicide.
This record exists so that Joseph Harvey Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
