Here's the comment from the JJ stating the man died (the auntie is referring to the article mention that the dead man "was known to the police.")

"The victim is my nephew and he died very early this morning so Jersey Journal should really get the correct info before posting incorrect information. And what does his arrest record have to do with anything??????

He never took nobody's life so he didn't deserve for his to be taken either! Like he deserved to die because he made mistakes in his life. SMH!"

In the comments section of the article it states the victim died.
