NJ police have their sights on recapturing Assata Shakur


The New Jersey State Police are hopeful that President Barack Obama’s announcement to mend relations with Cuba will result in the capture of fugitive and former Black Panther Party member Assata Shakur.

In 1973, Shakur— whose birth name is Joanne Chesimard— and two others traveling with her were pulled over on a New Jersey turnpike. She was then shot twice after a gunfight erupted. Trooper Werner Foerster was killed during the incident, along with one of the men in the car with Shakur.

On March of 1977, Shakur was convicted as an accomplice to the murder of Foester under an aiding and abetting statute, and was sentenced to life in prison. The activist escaped prison in 1979. She has been living in exile in Cuba since 1984 after she was granted asylum by former Cuban president Fidel Castro.

In 2005, the FBI offered $1 million for Shakur’s capture. On May 2, 2013, the New Jersey Attorney General added an addition $1 million to the reward, and on the same day, the FBI put Shakur on its Most Wanted Terrorist list, making her the first woman ever added.

“We view any changes in relations with Cuba as an opportunity to bring her back to the United States to finish her sentence for the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973,” New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes said of Shakur in a statement posted on the department’s Facebook page Wednesday.

“We continue to work closely with the FBI towards the capture of Joanne Chesimard, a convicted felon and fugitive who escaped from jail in 1979 and remains on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List, as well as New Jersey’s Most Wanted List,” Fuentes said. “We stand by the reward money and hope that the total of two million dollars will prompt fresh information in the light of the altered relationship.”

State Attorney General John Hoffman also expressed the seizing of Shakur to be a priority.

“With the president’s announcement today on easing relations with Cuba, we remain ever hopeful in our resolve to bring Joanne Chesimard to justice,” Hoffman said. “We will be working closely with federal authorities as we explore ways to apprehend her and return her to her rightful place in a New Jersey prison.”

Shakur testified that Trooper Harper shot her after she raised her arms to comply with his demand, the second shot hitting her in the back as she was turning to avoid it, and that she fell onto the road for the duration of the gunfight before crawling back into the backseat of the Pontiac which Acoli drove 5 miles (8 km) down the road and parked, and remained there until State Troopers dragged her onto the road.[57][142]

Trooper Harper's official reports state that after he stopped the Pontiac, he ordered Acoli to the back of the vehicle for Trooper Foerster—who had arrived on the scene—to examine his driver's license.[142] The reports then state that after Acoli complied, and as Harper was looking inside the vehicle to examine the registration, Trooper Foerster yelled and held up an ammunition magazine as Shakur simultaneously reached into her red pocketbook, pulled out a nine-millimeter weapon and fired at him.[142] Trooper Harper's reports then state that he ran to the rear of his car and shot at Shakur who had exited the vehicle and was firing from a crouched position next to the vehicle.[142]

Cubans are racist. Just because they gave one black person asylum (black person who probably gave them hella cash, she was a bank robber) doesn't mean they somehow love all black people.


I doubt they'll capture her. Shes not dumb.
