Sergeant Cornel Young Jr. (May 19, 1970 – January 28, 2000), known to his friends as "Jai," was a black police officer in Providence, Rhode Island, who was fatally shot by two fellow police officers Jan 28th, 2000, when he stepped in on a scuffle while off duty. This sparked outrage and allegations of racial profiling. Young had served with the police department for three years, and had been trained with one of the shooters. The police officers who shot him were not charged. His mother filed a civil rights suit against the city of Providence and against the police responsible for his shooting, but the suit was unsuccessful. Young was posthumously promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Cornel Young Jr. is commemorated with an elementary school named after him and a scholarship fund in his name.
