Jose Tavarez, 64, was fatally shot at about 9:04 p.m. on February 12, 2016, inside the Ellison Mini Market at 29 Ellison Street in Paterson, New Jersey. Officers found the store owner with a gunshot wound; he was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center but did not survive.

Investigators say the shooting happened during an attempted robbery. On March 21, 2016, authorities charged 49-year-old Paterson resident Harold Johnson with felony murder, robbery, and weapons offenses, alleging he shot and killed Tavarez during the robbery. Johnson was held at the Passaic County Jail on $1 million bail and faced a possible 30 years to life on the felony murder count.
