A shooting suspect was arrested during a motor vehicle stop on Straight Street early Saturday morning, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.

Alex Pagan, 22-year-old, of Paterson, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, and certain persons not to have weapons.

On April 12, Pagan allegedly shot a 22-year-old city man on Park Avenue, authorities said. Detectives identified him as the shooter and obtained an arrest warrant.

Pagan faces a maximum of 20 years in state prison solely on the attempted murder charge. Prosecutors have filed a motion for pretrial detention.
