The man fatally shot by Paterson police late last year was involved in a shootout, according to a document obtained by NJ Advance Media.
Thelonious “RaRa” McKnight said the victim had a gun and fired at him, touching off a shootout in the dark alleyway off Hillman Street.
Earlier this week, the Attorney General’s Office released video of the shooting, and a statement that said two guns were recovered at the scene—a .40 caliber pistol used by Bashir with 14 shell casings, and a .9 mm handgun with nine shell casings found “near” the victim. Bashir and his two colleagues in plainclothes weren’t wearing body cameras that night. Paterson was racing to meet a Dec. 31 deadline to comply with the Attorney General’s mandate to outfit its cops with body cameras when the shooting happened.
“We are entitled to transparency and clean policing,” Jackson said. “But right now, there’s disdain, distrust and more grief for the family. I don’t think the family is ever going to get closure or an answer that satisfies them.”
