Witnesses said an automatic rifle was used.
All five victims were taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center.
The 25-year-old victim “succumbed to his wounds and died at the hospital,”
Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a joint release.
The wounded were also all city men -- ages 19, 21, 22 and 26 – all of whom were in stable condition, authorities said.
