HACKENSACK (WABC) -- Authorities are investigating a deadly police-involved shooting in New Jersey Thursday in which a 24-year-old allegedly armed with a knife was fatally shot by officers.
The incident occurred on Temple Avenue in Hackensack around 1:30 p.m.
Authorities say three officers were dispatched to 10 Temple Avenue for a probation welfare check on 24-year-old Elvin Diaz.
It is unclear exactly what transpired next, but Diaz, who sources say displayed a knife, ended up shot several times.
Diaz was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he later died.
Two officers were also hospitalized as a precaution, but they are not believed to be injured.
No further details are available at this time.
Urban renewal time again.
Huh?
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
“If that’s movin’ up then I’m movin’ out.”
They probably just had “the vapors.”
Believe it or not, there is a Target right across the street from the scene. But there will be no rioting in this neighborhood because it is a pretty standard middle class one. It is no slum anyway you look at it. Within walking distance are some pretty high end car dealerships, the county’s premier academic high school, and the most upscale mall in the state of NJ. If any looting breaks out it will not be CVS and Woolworths, but Sacks 5th Avenue and Bloomingdales.
Will the mayor of Hackensack be giving them ‘room’?
Who knows, he is probably too busy stealing everything for himself in “Zizzaland.”
Hackensack has some pretty crappy areas but some nice ones as well; the “victim” here looked like something out of a southern California prison (Hispanic with tats all over his face/neck).
There won’t be any reaction to this; there still hasn’t been any to the fatal shooting a bit south of there last year (in Lyndhurst NJ). The areas have no sizable gibsmedat populations, so property rights are secure.
