On the evening of August 22, 2019, 25-year-old Xavier McCray, known as Zay or X-Man, was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting on Presidential Boulevard in Paterson, New Jersey. The shooting occurred about 7:01 p.m. when a vehicle passed a crowd of people gathered outside an apartment building and a passenger opened fire. Three men were struck; McCray was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center where he later died. The two other victims, a 19-year-old from Paterson and a 38-year-old from Jersey City, survived.

Investigators say the suspects abandoned the vehicle used in the attack a short distance away and fled in a second car. Five days after the shooting, Jordany Santana was charged as the alleged driver. The alleged shooter, Nasiera Jones, was already in custody on unrelated drug charges when charged in connection with McCray’s death, facing murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and weapons offenses.

Did anyone in Paterson see the cars or the shooters that night who hasn’t yet spoken to investigators?
