Deptford Township Police Officer Robert 'Bobby' Shisler, who was wounded in a shooting nearly two months ago has died from his injuries, officials announced.
On March 10 at 12:38 p.m., Deptford Police Officer Robert Shisler, 27, conducted a pedestrian stop on Delsea Drive in Deptford Township, New Jersey. During the stop, a man, who police identified as 24-year-old Mitchell Negron Jr., of Deptford, ran off on foot, investigators said.
Officer Shisler chased after him and a struggle ensued between the two men, according to investigators. During the struggle, both men shot each other, officials said. A Taurus .38 special revolver, which was not Officer Shisler’s service weapon, was recovered at the scene, according to investigators.
Negron was pronounced dead at the scene while Officer Shisler was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. Officer Shisler spent several weeks in the hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries and extensive treatment. During that time he received massive support from the Deptford Township community.
On Sunday, Deptford Township Police Chief Joseph Smith announced Officer Shisler had died from his injuries.
