On the night of March 28, 2016, gunfire on East 25th Street in Paterson, New Jersey, left 39-year-old Genny Rivas of nearby Passaic dead. Police arrived shortly before midnight to find Rivas unconscious and unresponsive outside a residence in the 400 block of East 25th Street; he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives from the Paterson Police Major Crimes Unit opened a homicide investigation but investigators did not publicly identify a motive, nor explain why Rivas was in that Paterson neighborhood late that night.

Anyone who knew Genny Rivas, saw activity on East 25th Street that night, or has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
