PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. â A former Palm Beach Gardens police officer convicted of shooting and killing a local musician almost six years ago will remain in prison.
The Fourth District Court of Appeal announced Wednesday that Nouman Raja has lost an appeal against his conviction.
25-year sentence for manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Corey Jones.

Raja s attorneys had argued that since a defendant can t be convicted of both murder and manslaughter for killing one person, a guilty verdict for manslaughter and attempted murder should also be rejected.
But the judges sided with prosecutors by a 3-0 vote, saying Raja s convictions were for distinct crimes. First, the judges focused on Raja firing two volleys of shots separated by about 10 seconds, the last as Jones ran away.
They agreed with prosecutors, who argued at trial that while they could not prove in which volley the fatal bullet was fired, the second was a premeditated attempt to kill Jones and qualified as attempted murder.
