Open records summary :
Montclair PD officer Michael Kupchak tried to traffic-stop a vehicle driven by Gregory Dukes as part of an investigation into a previous criminal matter. A second officer named Brandon Taylor soon joined the hunt. Police escalated the chase to 65 mph into the borough of Glen Ridge. Police allegedly “called off the chase” as the hunted driver began losing control of the vehicle and 40 seconds later, the vehicle slammed into a tree, killing both Gregory Dukes and his passenger Cecil Richardson, 47.
A Grand Jury returned a “No Bill” in September 2023, meaning the officers will not be charged.
