Jimmy Mercedes, 39, was charged with murder and weapons offenses in the 10:22 a.m. May 5 shooting of 62-year-old Daryle Robinson Sr.
Mercedes turned himself in at police headquarters around 8 p.m. Friday, May 10, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Officer-In-Charge Isa Abbassi announced Saturday afternoon.
Mercedes shot Robinson multiple times, they said, at East 24th Street and Broadway -- exactly two blocks from the corner where the late street vendor was a familiar and friendly face while selling DVDs, CDs, clothing and more.
Valdes and Abbassi didn’t suggest a motive, nor did they say what type and caliber of firearm that Mercedes allegedly used.
Robinson was taken to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center, where he died two days later.
A funeral service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, May 25, at Bridgeway Community Church, 381 Haledon Avenue, Haledon, following visitation that begins at the church at 12:30 p.m.
Curshnie-Houston Funeral Home in Paterson is handling the arrangements.
