On the night of December 30, 2014, a traffic stop in Bridgeton, New Jersey ended with 36-year-old Jerame C. Reid shot and killed after officers Braheme Days and Roger Worley pulled over a Jaguar for an alleged stop-sign violation. Officer Days, who had previously known Reid from an earlier arrest, reportedly saw a handgun in the glove compartment. Dashcam video captures Days repeatedly ordering Reid, who was in the passenger seat, not to move; Reid can be heard saying he wasn’t reaching for anything.

The video shows Reid starting to exit the vehicle with his hands appearing raised when Days fired multiple shots and Worley fired once. Reid, who was unarmed, was struck in the chest and left arm and died from his wounds. Both officers said they feared for their lives and believed Reid was reaching for a weapon.

A Cumberland County grand jury declined to bring state charges in August 2015, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office later decided in August 2016 there was insufficient evidence to pursue federal civil rights charges. Reid’s family filed a federal lawsuit that produced a tentative settlement in July 2016 providing payments to his infant son, widow and mother. Has anyone seen the dashcam footage or has additional local context about this stop?
