PATERSON, NJ.- On Friday, September 10, 2021 Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes announced the Arrest of Jabor Taylor, 39, of Paterson, New Jersey. Taylor is charged with First Degree Attempted Murder; First Degree Conspiracy to Commit Murder and Second Degree Certain Persons Not to Possess Weapons.
On Wednesday, September 4, 2021, at approximately 1:00 a.m., Members of The Paterson Police Department responded to a report of a shooting near East 22nd Street and 12th Avenue in Paterson. Upon their arrival, Police Officers located a male victim, age 22 from Paterson, New Jersey, who had been shot multiple times. While responding to the scene, a Paterson Police Officer attempted to pull over a vehicle of interest that was driving away from the scene of the shooting.
At that time, an occupant of the vehicle shot at the responding Officer. The Paterson Police Officer returned fire from his service-issued firearm. The suspect vehicle struck multiple parked cars during the pursuit and drove away from the scenes of the shootings. The Paterson Police Officer was not injured and the 22-year-old victim was admitted at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Pataerson, New Jersey for treatment.
During the subsequent investigation, it was determined that the vehicle utilized by the suspects during the shooting incidents matched the description of the vehicle registered to Taylor. On Wednesday, September 8, 2021, Taylor’s vehicle was located in East Orange, New Jersey where it was observed to have significant collision damage and a bullet hole in the rear windshield. The investigation also revealed that Taylor was the driver of the vehicle during the shooting incidents, and had driven the car to East Orange after evading the police in Paterson.
