Yhamere F. Mayo, 28, also was charged with weapons offenses in connection with the Jan. 13 shooting on North Main Street shortly before 1:30 a.m., they said.

The 28-year-old victim checked into St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center on his own for treatment of a gunshot wound.

A 32-year-old man who was with him was fired at but not hit, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Troy Oswald said in a joint release.

They said they’re going to ask a judge to detain Mayo, who was arrested on Presidential Boulevard on Friday, pending further court action.
