On the morning of November 6, 2016, 28-year-old Gene Bolie, a Black man, was shot outside 74 North Main Street in Paterson, New Jersey at about 1:40 a.m. Patrol officers found him at the scene, provided aid, and he was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center, where he died in the emergency room.

Detectives from the Paterson Police Department and the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation immediately. Bolie’s death was the city’s 19th homicide in 2016, part of a rise in violence that began in August. Two months before the shooting he had been arrested for loitering to commit a drug offense near the same location.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please contact investigators.
