A verbal confrontation outside Big Chris’s Pizzeria on Park Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey, ended in deadly violence on the evening of September 8, 2014. Raymond Torres, 24, a cook at the pizzeria, punched another man, Joseph Borges, during the dispute. Borges left and returned hours later armed with a .380 caliber handgun. When Torres exited the pizzeria Borges fired six shots; one bullet struck Torres in the lower back and he died later that day despite medical attention.

The investigation identified Joseph Borges as the shooter. In October 2016 Borges, then 27 and a Paterson resident, pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter; prosecutors recommended a 20-year prison term. Sentencing was scheduled for January of the following year.

If anyone knew Raymond, his routines, or saw the events that night, can you share what you remember?
