PATERSON, NJ.- A 19-year-old Paterson, New Jersey man has been apprehended in Pennsylvania in connection with an October 3, 2023, triple shooting in Paterson, New Jersey that claimed the life of a 33-year-old Riverdale, New Jersey man, and injured another two men.
According to Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes, Brayan Caraballo, 19, of Paterson, New Jersey has been charged with first-degree Murder; first-degree Conspiracy to Commit Murder; first-degree Attempted Murder; second-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon; and second-degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose. Caraballo was taken into custody in Pennsylvania and is being held pending extradition to New Jersey.
On October 3, 2023, at approximately 3:47 p.m., members of the Paterson Police Department responded to a 911 Emergency Call reporting a shooting with multiple victims, in the area of Broadway and Rosa Parks Boulevard in the City of Paterson.
Upon arrival, Police Officers located three victims, the first victim, Jerrell Wright, 23, of Riverdale, New Jersey was transported to Saint Joseph’s University Medical Center where he succumbed to a gunshot wound to his chest and was pronounced deceased.

The subsequent investigation by Detectives of the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office and the Paterson Police Department resulted in Caraballo being identified as one of the individuals involved in the triple shooting. A 16-year-old boy was previously arrested for his involvement in the shooting and is currently being detained pending future court proceedings in Passaic County Superior Court.
