A crowd of residents watched the police from a distance. One resident said she saw police arrive at approximately 6:21 p.m. As she was looking out her window, she saw officers with firearms walk down the street which caused her to be alarmed.

“This is something you hardly see in Paramus,” said one man. “There has been minor burglaries, but never a homicide.”
