PATERSON, N.J. (AP) - A street shooting in a northern New Jersey community has left one man dead and another wounded, authorities said.
Paterson police found both victims when they responded to reports of shots fired shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.
The two men - Tamir Blackwood, 27, and a 26-year-old man, both of Paterson - were taken to a hospital where Blackwood was pronounced dead a short time later. The other victim was listed in stable condition, but further details on his injuries were not disclosed.
