A violence prevention organization is demanding answers after one of its employees was fatally shot by police in New Jersey.
According to the state's attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, both crisis negotiation and emergency response teams were sent to the scene, where nonlethal force against Seabrooks was used.
The state attorney's office has identified the two officers who fatally shot Seabrooks as Anzore Tsay and Jose Hernandez."Najee's death is one more senseless violent act that underscores how critically important it is to have community-based first responders, like Paterson Healing Collective, who are trained in de-escalation and community crisis response in our neighborhoods," Paterson Healing Collective said in a statement.
