A man was fatally shot in Fair Street on Wednesday night, according to Paterson Police.

Isaac Rinas, the victim, 18-year-old, of Wayne, was in the area of Fair and East 18th Streets at around 9pm with a friend on Wednesday, where a man got into the backseat of his vehicle, produced a handgun, and ordered him to step outside of his vehicle, after which the gunman shot him in the neck. Mr Rinas died from the gunshot.

After the gunman entered the vehicle, the friend was ordered to get out of the car, after the gunman had taken all his possession. The friend complied, and got out. A few minutes later, the gunman and Mr Rinas got out of the car — once outside, the gunman shot Mr Rinas in the neck, killing him with a single shot.

The suspect is described as a black male. Police found Mr Rinas near his car lying lifelessly on the ground.
