A grand jury in Essex County, N.J., has declined to bring criminal charges against a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed credit union chief executive from Atlanta last July.




The banker, Defarra Gaymon, 48, was in the area that afternoon for an alumni reunion for his class at Montclair High School.




The officer, Edward Esposito, 30, now a nine-year veteran of the Essex County Sheriff’s Office, was patrolling undercover in Branch Brook Park in Newark.




At around 6 p.m. on July 16, after chasing down a man and arresting him, Officer Esposito realized he had dropped his handcuffs in the woods and went to get them, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said.




The account of what followed came solely from Officer Esposito. “We made an effort to find out if there was anyone who saw the events in the park,” said Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office. “No witnesses ever came forward to say they saw all, or a portion, of the encounter.”




Officer Esposito has said he was bending down to pick up his handcuffs when he was approached by Mr. Gaymon, who was “engaged in a sexual act,” the prosecutor’s office said. When Officer Esposito tried to arrest him, “Mr. Gaymon appeared to panic, assaulted the police officer and fled,” the prosecutor’s office said.




The officer chased Mr. Gaymon into an open area and cornered him near a pond. Mr. Gaymon threatened to kill the officer, “then lunged at and attempted to disarm the officer while reaching into his own pocket,” the prosecutor’s office said.




Officer Esposito, “fearing for his life,” fired...

A police officer responding to a domestic dispute fatally shot a Winchester man Monday night, authorities said.






Four officers from the Swanzey and Winchester police departments responded to an apartment building on Keene Road in Winchester shortly after 9 p.m., according to a news release from the N.H. Attorney General’s Office.






There they met a woman outside who said her husband was inside, suicidal and armed with a knife, the release said.






The officers went into the apartment to try to convince the man to drop the knife, and used verbal commands and Tasers in their first attempts to get him to comply, according to the release.






He did not drop the knife, and instead came toward the officers, according to the release. One of the officers then fired his handgun and killed the man.
