A man was fatally shot during an exchange of gunfire with Jersey City police. According to officials, the incident began when officers from the street crimes unit noticed a person acting suspiciously and believed he was armed. When officers approached, the individual allegedly fired at police, prompting officers to return fire. The suspect, identified by family members as 27-year-old T'Shawn Rogers, was taken to the hospital and later died. A firearm was recovered at the scene, and the Attorney General's office is conducting an investigation, as is standard in police-involved shootings.

Suspect killed in exchange of gunfire with Jersey City police officer

New information this afternoon about a police shootout in Jersey City, a man died after shots were fired. News 12's Lauren Due is live on Bergen Avenue this afternoon with the very latest details. Lauren? Yeah, Adela, that shootout with police happened right here on this sidewalk overnight. One man died. We spoke to people who identified themselves as family members, and they identify that man as 27-year-old T'Shawn Rogers. This all unfolding overnight. Jersey City Mayor Stephen Fulop says the department's street crimes unit saw a person acting suspiciously and noticed a bulge in his clothing, thinking it was a gun. The mayor says when officers approached that person, he shot at an officer. The officer shot back, hitting the suspect, who was taken to the hospital where he later died. A gun was recovered. Again, that man identified by people who said they were family members. His grandmother spoke to us. When they shot him down in the street, it killed him and would not tell me what happened, okay? All they did was came near, flashing lights in my eyes and saying that they was looking for him. I said, well, he's not home. I told them he went to Texas because they kept going back and forth asking about information but wouldn't tell me nothing. Not telling me that my grandson was dead, that they killed my grandson. The investigation is still ongoing, and as standard protocol, the Attorney General's office handles police-involved shootings. In Jersey City, Lauren Du, News 12 New Jersey.
