Jersey City, New Jersey — On September 5, 2025, at approximately 1:22 p.m., two uniformed Jersey City officers were traveling southbound on John F. Kennedy Boulevard (JFK Blvd.) in a marked police vehicle. Simultaneously, Jersey City Police Sgt. Ricardo Reyes was travelling northbound in a separate marked police vehicle. Sergeant Reyes made a U-turn. According to his later-given statement to law enforcement, he did so to determine if someone had shot at his vehicle. According to a civilian’s later-given statement, the civilian pointed out to Sergeant Reyes an individual, later identified as 26-year-old Steven Sanchez, walking southbound as the person who had shot at Sergeant Reyes’ police vehicle. A short distance away, the two officers in the other southbound marked police vehicle similarly made a U-turn. According to their later-given statements to law enforcement, they also sought to investigate if someone had shot at their police vehicle.

At approximately 1:23 p.m., the two uniformed officers exited their police vehicle on JFK Blvd. near Clinton Avenue. They observed Sanchez to be in possession of what appeared to be a handgun and began issuing commands for him to drop the weapon. Sanchez then pointed the weapon in the officers’ direction. Sergeant Reyes then exited his police vehicle and exchanged fire with Sanchez, who was struck and injured. After being struck, Sanchez fired his weapon in the direction of officers and ran towards Sergeant Reyes. A physical struggle ensued and Sanchez was taken into custody. Officers rendered medical aid until EMS arrived. Sanchez was subsequently transported to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased at approximately 8:45 p.m. Sergeant Reyes sustained a non-life-threatening injury during the encounter. No other officers or civilians were injured during the incident. A compressed air pistol, as well as numerous projectiles believed to have been fired from that weapon, were recovered at the scene.
