Corey Jones, the musician who was fatally shot by a Florida police officer on the side of the road, did not fire his weapon, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aaronberg said at a rally Wednesday. Palm Beach Gardens police said the 31-year-old had a handgun and "confronted" officer Nouman Raja when the shooting occurred. An attorney representing Jones' family said last week the musician's weapon had not been fired, and Aaronberg confirmed that detail during a rally Thursday, where activists were demanding transparency in the investigation of the deadly shooting.

"Our responsibility is to seek justice, our loyalty is to the community, and our commitment is to the truth," Aaronberg said. Aaronberg said his office would try to make the investigation as transparent as possible, and noted the Palm Beach County Sheriff, and FBI, are also investigating the shooting. Jones family’s lawyer, Benjamin Crump, said at a previous news conference the officer was not carrying his badge at the time of the shooting.

“He went to his grave not knowing if this was a real cop or not,” Crump said. "Nobody understands how this could happen to Corey Jones.”

Jones, 31, was on the side of the road in Palm Beach County when his car broke down at approximately 3:15 a.m. on Sunday. He was waiting for a tow truck when officer Nouman Raja, who was in plainclothes, arrived in an unmarked van. Palm Beach Gardens police said Jones “confronted” Raja, who then fired at Jones. A gun Jones had legally bought three days earlier was found at the scene, police said. In a press conference earlier this week, police said Jones was holding the gun as Raja approached, though it is unclear if Jones pointed it toward the officer. On Thursday morning, Crump said Raja discharged his weapon six times, striking Jones at least three times. Police have remained mum on the details of the shooting. Police have not confirmed wither Raja and Jones got into a verbal confrontation before the shooting. Crump and Jones’ family members called on local police and the state attorney for answers about what happened, including why the officer didn’t have a badge, why Jones’ body was not found near his car, and why the gun was not hear Jones’ body.
