I do two things living around here. PATERSON The city ended up with 27 homicides and 101 shooting incidents in 2022, part of an ongoing spike in violence that surpassed anything Paterson endured during the previous three decades. The first victim, a 29-year-old Paterson man, was shot outside 51 Colonial Avenue at around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday. Officer Jerry Moravek, 40, was charged with second-degree aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and second-degree official misconduct for the June 11 incident that left Khalif Cooper, 28, with bullet fragments in his spine and unable to walk.
