'Armed And Dangerous' Hackensack Shooting Suspect Sought

HACKENSACK, NJ - Authorities say they have issued an arrest warrant for a 20-year-old man in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred over the weekend in Hackensack.

Anyone who spots the suspect, Jairo Echeverry, should "not try to engage him," as authorities consider him armed and dangerous, the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said on Monday afternoon.

But if anyone has seen him or known of his whereabouts, authorities ask they contact Hackensack police at 201-646-7777.

A warrant for Echeverry's arrest was issued following an investigation into Sunday's shooting, the prosecutor's office said.
