What happened
Ismael Miranda was shot and killed by Paterson police near Summer and Oak Streets in New Jersey on June 23, 2016. Fatal Encounters identifies the agency and records that police said Miranda began firing at two approaching officers, who returned fire. This is the law-enforcement account reproduced by a third-party database; it does not independently establish how the initial contact began or a final prosecutorial ruling. Police Transparency NJ provides the recorded address, date and department and cautions that inclusion in its collection is not a finding of wrongdoing. The reviewed material does not substantiate a later conviction, grand-jury finding or civil settlement involving the officers, so none is asserted here.
