What Happened
Patrolman Clayton Graham was shot and killed by a man who was angry about getting a speeding ticket earlier in the day.

When they stopped in front of Patrolman Graham's home, Patrolman Graham began to enter his personal vehicle when the man shot him. The 33-year-old suspect pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years. Patrolman Graham was a U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient. He had served with the Atlantic City Police Department for 14 years.
