The office of civil rights attorney Benjamin L. Crump and Daryl D. Parks has released a statement confirming they have been hired by the family of Corey Jones. Kweku Darfoor of Fort Lauderdale and Skinner Louis of Orlando are also part of the Jones family’s legal team, the statement said.
The Jones family released the following statement through the attorneys’ office:
“Our family would like to thank all of those who have reached out in support regarding the tragic death of our beloved Corey.
“Corey Jones was a God-fearing man who dedicated his life to doing the right thing. He lived every moment to the fullest and was an inspiration to many; the kind of son, brother and friend people could only hope for.
“Rest assured, we are working diligently with our legal team to determine exactly why this plainclothes police officer in an unmarked car would approach Corey.
“We will never forget Corey. We are hopeful that the memory of his smiling face will give us strength during this incredibly difficult time.”
