Grand Jury Declines Charges in Edelin Shooting | Newark News

A New Jersey grand jury has decided not to press charges against Officer Luke Falkenberg in the November 2024 shooting death of Keith Edelin. After reviewing extensive evidence—including 911 calls, body cam footage, witness statements, and the autopsy report—the jury found insufficient grounds to meet the legal threshold for criminal charges.

The Attorney General’s Office has now closed its investigation, leaving no charges to be filed. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
