The source's account
Fatal Encounters' description of the incident, verbatim. This is the source project's own third-party narrative, not this site's reporting.
Passaic police saw an apparent drug deal between people in two cars. After stopping one car in nearby Clifton, a shot was fired from the vehicle, and police returned fire. Passaic Officer Barulio Barbosa was shot in the leg, though it's unclear who shot him. The car, driven by 34-year-old Marquel Brown, with 39-year-old Calvin Raines in the passenger seat, then sped off and soon collided with a pickup truck, killing the passenger, 33-year-old Nathan Ferrer of Clifton.
