Surveillance footage has revealed the moment a New Jersey plainclothes cop in an unmarked police car shot dead an unarmed black man on New Year's Day. Carl Dorsey III, 39 (Picture below) died in the early hours of January 1 after being shot by Newark Police Detective Rod Simpkins near Woodlawn Avenue and South 11th Street in Newark. Officers, including Simpkins, had reportedly arrived on the scene after hearing gunshots fired in the area. Security camera video released by New Jersey's attorney general Thursday shows Dorsey running across the street as Simpkins exits an unmarked police car. They appear to collide with each other before Simpkins turns and shoots Dorsey dead. The video is the only footage so far found of the incident. There is no dashcam or bodycam footage from the incident because New Jersey state law does not require plainclothes officers to use them. The state Attorney General's Office, which is investigating the fatal shooting, said no weapon was recovered from Dorsey or from the immediate area.
