I've been following this story since yesterday and now I see it all over the news.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - A Palm Beach Gardens officer shot and killed a man early Sunday morning on the southbound ramp of Interstate 95, but the circumstances of the incident remain unclear.

Palm Beach Gardens police said at about 3:15 a.m., one of its officers shot a man driving on the I-95 southbound exit ramp onto PGA Boulevard.

Investigators are not releasing the man's name, but a local pastor said the man killed was Corey Jones, 31, of Boynton Beach.
