Two police officers in North Jersey shot and killed a 49-year-old man during a confrontation outside of his apartment complex, according to the New Jersey attorney general’s office.
The shooting occurred on April 12th in Edison. The identity of the victim — Merrill Rambarose, a former software engineer at NYU Langone Health — was released Wednesday by the attorney general’s office, which is investigating the incident.Based on information released after a preliminary investigation, officers were called to an apartment complex at about 3:45 p.m., where they found Rambarose in the parking lot. He was shot by two officers.
“My brother, because of his mental state, he just doesn't talk properly in a civil way,” Ken Rambarose said. Ken Rambarose also said his brother had a high-paying job and was generous with family. But during the pandemic, his mental health dramatically declined. A review of attorney general press releases indicated that this was the fifth time this year that police officers in New Jersey shot and killed someone. None of the victims were carrying guns at the time.
