Deadly force
Officer Titus Johnson shot and killed 49-year-old Raymond Looney during a traffic stop at Newark Avenue and Coles Street. A Hudson County grand jury decided to take no action against Johnson, who said Looney tried to drive away as Johnson approached the car, clipping the officer in the process. Johnson opened fire, hitting the man twice, once in the side and once in the back. In October, Johnson shot a man in the leg after he allegedly aimed a gun at police officers during a foot chase; in 1999, he shot and killed a man who was in the act of stabbing another man.
