Two Paramus officers responded to an alarm and found four suspects in a 2015 Kia K900. The driver, Reyes, allegedly tried to run down one of the officers, who was thrown onto the hood of the car. The officer fired multiple shots, fatally wounding Reyes, who crashed the car and fled on foot across the highway. He was pronounced dead about an hour later.
