Fatal Perth Amboy shooting death of Angel Santiago – Obituary

Authorities have named 20-year-old Rahway resident Angel Santiago in connection with the recent shooting involving a Perth Amboy detective.

The incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. on Wednesday when Perth Amboy detectives were serving an arrest warrant for Santiago, who was wanted in connection with an aggravated assault from the previous day.

During the operation, there was an exchange of gunfire between Santiago and the officers, resulting in one detective being struck.

Santiago sustained a gunshot wound to his lower leg, although the precise source of the injury is not yet clear, according to the Union County Prosecutor and Rahway police.

The injured police officer, who was shot three times, was transported to a nearby hospital where he is reported to be in stable condition. The injuries are not considered life-threatening.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin expressed the state’s collective support for the officer, stating, “All of New Jersey is praying for his recovery as he undergoes treatment at an area hospital, and we are grateful to the many law enforcement officers who responded and rendered aid immediately after the shooting.”

Rahway Mayor Raymond Giacobbe initially suggested that there might have been multiple suspects involved in the incident, though police have only confirmed Santiago’s involvement.

Giacobbe also extended his thoughts and prayers to the injured officer and his family, wishing for a speedy recovery and offering support during this difficult time.
