Jamar Ray, who has a recent history of drug-related arrests in Paterson, was charged with attempted murder and illegal weapons possession.
The boy was taken by private vehicle to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center following the shooting behind a corner storefront at shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 5, authorities said.
