A New Jersey man has been missing for nine months, and the last time he was seen was shortly after police in Paterson detained him Now, two police officers involved in the case have been suspended — so what happened to Felix de Jesus?
The family said the only proof they have that de Jesus was taken by police is the body camera video, which was obtained only when a newspaper filed an open public records request. The family said they wouldn’t have had that if it wasn’t for the owner of the store that their missing relative was in before he was put in handcuffs.
It was four months before the family got the body cam video, and they say it still doesn’t tell the whole story. In the months since he disappeared, de Jesus' family has maintained a silent but steady protest. On Friday, on the fringes of an unrelated press conference outside the Passaic County Courthouse, they were there with Paterson‘s mayor and other elected officials — including longtime local Congressman Bill Pascrell, the only one who stopped to speak with the family and pledged his help.
Paterson’s police director didn't return calls or emails for comment on the two officers who on Monday, after an internal investigation, were suspended without pay for 90 days. The review found they violated multiple departmental regulations including neglect of duty, breaking body camera rules, transporting citizens and preparing and filing reports.
