Driving toward officer gets suspect killed

This compilation of bodycam footage comes from Newark, New Jersey. On 19 January, 2026, surveillance units detected narcotics-related activity and described the two suspect vehicles. While one vehicle was successfully stopped and its occupant detained, the suspect in the other car, a white Chrysler, attempted to flee. A Newark Officer noticed the Chrysler backing up, at which point he put his hand on the hood and told the driver to stop. Rather than do so, the driver moved the car forward, at which point the officer fired his weapon. Both the driver and a passenger were hit, and the Chrysler rolled into a parked car. The officer provided immediate aid and transport to an area hospital, but the driver was pronounced deceased thereafter. The other wounded passenger was treated and released. Viewer discretion is advised.
