A shooting that left a man dead in Union on Sunday evening has Union County authorities continuing to investigate.
Family members identified the victim Jose Yampier Diago, 19, of Elizabeth and said Diago began to associate with a "bad crowd."
Residents in the neighborhood said that a vehicle pulled up in the 700 block of Gates Terrace and fired multiple times then saw Diago unconscious and unresponsive laying on the ground.
A vehicle pursuit had officers chase the suspect in the area of Scotch Plains, Mountainside where police reportedly arrested a juvenile then recovered a weapon.
The Union County Prosecutor's Office would only say the shooting is a suspected homicide and that the investigation is still in its preliminary stages and ongoing.
It is not immediately known why Diago was in the Union neighborhood.
