Prince George County

Prince George - On September 1, 2000 Corporal Carlton Jones was not in uniform nor was he displaying his badge when he decided to follow Prince Jones Jr. Prince backed his Jeep into the driver's side door of the officer's sport utility vehicle two times. Carlton testified he fired his gun at Prince as he was about to back into his vehicle a third time. Although Prince was unarmed, he was shot and killed. His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county. A Circuit Court civil jury awarded $2.5 million in damages to Prince's 7-year-old daughter Nina, $1 million to his mother and $200,000 to his father. (Sep-26-06) [WASHINGTON POST: UNARMED KILLING]
