Officials investigating crane fire at port near Walt Whitman Bridge

A former New Jersey police officer has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for fatally shooting one man and wounding another. This happened in 2019 during a high-speed car chase in Newark. 

The judge said there's a need to deter officers like Jovanny Crespo from having what he called a “shoot-first, ask-questions-later” mentality.

NJ.com reported the 31-year-old former officer cried and later stood to briefly apologize to the victims’ families. He and his lawyers had been asking for leniency, telling the judge that Crespo had less than two years on the job and had been poorly trained.
