"Corey Jones packed up his drum sticks, got in his car and headed home.
He had just wrapped up another gig in Jupiter with his band, Future Prezidents, and the Boynton Beach man was all smiles before he embarked south early Sunday, a band mate said.
But his car broke down just after 3 a.m. He wouldn't make it home after that.
The 31-year-old Boynton Beach man was shot dead by a Palm Beach Gardens officer who stopped to inspect Jones' vehicle, thinking it was abandoned, and a deadly altercation ensued, police said."

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department isn't responding to reporter inquiries and has taken down their Facebook page to avoid answering questions regarding the murder of Corey Jones.
Corey's family, friends, and community deserve answers.
We the people want to know what happened that night. Sign the petition to demand justice for Corey Jones.

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department thinks they can hide behind deleted Facebook pages and silence while families grieve for Corey. This massive surge of support proves they cannot bury the truth anymore because we are watching every move they make.

One hundred people have signed and the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department is still hiding behind a deleted Facebook page. They think they can stay silent while we bury a musician but they are wrong.

Calling for Justice for my dear friend, classmate and teammate Corey Jones! #alllivesmatter #justiceforcoreyjones
Three generations of my family have served in the military. They served in the belief that Liberty and Justice for ALL includes black brown and native Americans. Honor their service and my nephew who died in Iraq. We call for Justice for Corey.
This senseless killing has to stop. Corey Jones a black man on his way home ends up dead after car breaks down on the side of the road. Right now I feel the best thing we need is the truth and nothing but the truth in the case of Corey Jones. There needs to be justice for Corey Jones. #Blacklivesmatter #SayHisNameCoreyJones #JusticeForCorey #JusticeForCoreyJones
This is an outrageous example of abuse of authority. This officer clearly wrongfully killed innocent Corey Jones.
I person waiting by a broke down car, should not have to fear a police officer is going to kill them. The inhumane way the police behave is unacceptable & must stop. This shouldn't ever happen to anyone anywhere ever!
Corey's memory lives on! Romans 12:19 it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.

This tragedy should have never happened and to PAY this officer is ludicrous! He should be sitting in the county jail! If this had been civilian on civilian, the one who used deadly force would be in jail...why isn't this officer?????????
