Corey Jones, 31, was shot and killed by a police officer on Sunday. He had just finished a set with his brand Future Prezidents. But his SUV broke down on the way home, so he called his friend, bass player Mathew Huntsberger around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. Huntsberger drove to find his bandmate, who was stranded north of West Palm Beach, Fla., on Interstate 95. He brought along some oil, but when that didn’t work, the two decided to look up numbers for a tow truck. Huntsberger said he called roadside assistance for his bandmate and then, about 2:30 a.m., left to head home while Jones waited for the tow truck. 45 minutes later, he was shot and killed by a plainclothes officer.

According to reports from the Washington Post, there have been more than 780 fatal police shootings so far in 2015. In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department said that officer Nouman Raja was in plainclothes “in an unmarked car” when he stopped to “investigate what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle on an Interstate 95 exit ramp.”

“As the officer exited his vehicle, he was suddenly confronted by an armed subject,” the police department said in a statement. “As a result of the confrontation, the officer discharged his firearm, resulting in the death of the subject.”

“They’re saying he was armed, but I don’t know if I believe it,” said Huntsberger, who described Jones to the Washington Post as a really mellow, church-going guy. “Of course they’re going to say that. If I was there, maybe it’s a different situation. I just don’t know what happened.”

Friends and family are demanding to know the details of the incident. They don’t think the church-going, friendly family-man drummer could’ve possibly been armed, or that he would’ve approached the offer in a threatening way. Unfortunately, no details have been released yet.
