Video shows man shot by NJ police raising his hands


BRIDGETON, N.J. (AP) — A newly released video shows a man stepping out of a car and raising his hands as he was fatally shot by police in New Jersey last month.

Video from the dashboard camera of a police car shows Bridgeton officers Braheme Days and Roger Worley in a traffic stop that escalates quickly and ends with passenger Jerame Reid being shot to death on Dec. 30.

The officers pulled over the Jaguar for rolling through a stop sign, and the encounter starts friendly. It's not clear why, but as Days speaks to the men, he suddenly steps back, pulls his gun and tells them, "Show me your hands." Days also tells his partner that there's a gun in the glove compartment.

The driver, Leroy Tutt, is seen showing his hands atop the open window on his side of the car. It's not clear what Reid is doing, though Days repeatedly warns him not to move during an interaction that lasts less than two minutes.

"I'm going to shoot you," Days shouts in a speech laced with profanity. "You're going to be ... dead. If you reach for something, you're going to be ... dead."

Seconds later, Days tells his partner, "He's reaching for something."

Reid seems to be speaking during the confrontation, but his words cannot be made out from the video.
