But authorities have not released DeJesus’ cause of death or said whether he was a suspect, a person of interest or a potential witness in the. DeJesus was pronounced dead at University Hospital at 4:41 p.m., roughly an hour after his initial encounter with police. The office referred NJ Advance Media’s inquiries about the Paterson shooting to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, which did not respond to requests for comment.
An attorney for the family, Luretha Stribling, said they want to view the entire body camera footage surrounding DeJesus’ arrest and receive a better explanation for why he was stopped in the first place. She said the redacted video clips that have been released show DeJesus was clearly in medical distress. Yet, emergency services did not quickly arrive at a scene minutes from University Hospital, she said.
