The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Lyndhurst Police Department are jointly investigating a shooting that occurred in Lyndhurst.
According to the Lyndhurst Police Department, on Saturday, November 1, 2025, they received information from the Paterson Police Department about a possible overnight shooting on Valley Brook Avenue in the 1500 block of the Meadowlands section of Lyndhurst. Upon responding to the area, officers found evidence confirming that a shooting had taken place.
Detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit were notified, arrived on the scene, and launched a joint investigation with the Lyndhurst Police Department. With assistance from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, investigators recovered multiple spent shell casings from the location where the incident occurred.
Officials identified one male victim who sustained injuries during the shooting. The victim sought medical treatment that morning at Hackensack University Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries and has since been treated and released.
At this time, no further information is available. More details will be provided as they become available, without compromising the ongoing investigation.
Detective Captain Paul Haggerty, public-information officer for Lyndhurst PD, stated, “There is no threat to public safety at this time. The investigation, although preliminary, indicates that this incident is isolated, as the identified victim was non-cooperative with law enforcement. Additionally, there does not appear to be a nexus to the township aside from the incident occurring within it.”
He added, “Both agencies involved remain steadfast in bringing all parties involved to justice, as violent crime will not be tolerated within the township.”
Anyone with information related to this case is urged to contact the Lyndhurst Police Department by email at [email protected] or by phone at (201) 804-9346.
