PATERSON — Authorities are looking for a 31-year-old Paterson man accused of fatally shooting two people and wounding two others — including his former girlfriend — while they were sitting in parked car in the city’s 4th Ward in September.
The suspect, Jonathan Hernandez, should be considered “armed and dangerous,” said a press release issued Tuesday by Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Troy Oswald.
Hernandez previously was convicted of aggravated assault, weapons possession and drug dealing and was released from state prison in July 2017 after serving about 30 months behind bars, according to state Corrections Department records. He had not been publicly identified as the suspected killer until Tuesday.
Authorities say that in the hours before the Sept. 2 shooting, Hernandez used a baseball to damage the vehicle owned by his former girlfriend, 32-year-old Latoya Lesane. Then he confronted Lesane and the three other victims outside the Elks Lodge on Ellison Street and started a fight, authorities said.
An hour after the fight, Hernandez allegedly walked up to a parked car in which Lesane and the three others were seated and opened fire. The victims then drove from the shooting scene, but damage from the gunfire brought the vehicle to a stop about six blocks away, at the corner of Broadway and East 18th Street, authorities said.
Killed in the incident were Daryl Tann, 48, and Nykeema Kersey, 33, both from Paterson, authorities said. Lesane was critically wounded and the fourth person, Jason Parker, 30, of Paterson, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, authorities said.
Tann was pronounced deceased upon his arrival at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center; Lesane was critically injured, and Kersey was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Hernandez has been charged as a fugitive with two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, and various weapons crimes, authorities said. Authorities are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call 973-321-1120.

Thoughts? Adding Hernandez as a breaking news fugitive case as I'm very concerned about his potential for violence being an ex-felon wanted for what was a double homicide that could have very easily have been a quadruple homicide.
