PATERSON — Two New York City corrections officers were arrested on Friday in connection with a shooting last weekend in Paterson's 6th Ward, a crime captured on video by a business' security camera, authorities announced.

One of the corrections officers’ companions that night also was arrested and charged with attempted murder in the shooting, according to law enforcement sources.

The corrections officers, Keith Hood, 29, of Staten Island, and Rasheim Williams, 26, of Brooklyn, gave themselves up to authorities Friday, and have been charged as result of the shooting of a 27-year-old man from East Orange on Getty Avenue at about 1:10 a.m. on July 13, authorities said. Both have been charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and remain in Passaic County Jail.

Charged with attempted murder and various weapons crimes was Jeffrey Hulse, 29, of Roselle, according to a press release issued by the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.

In a security camera video recording shown to the Paterson Press, the shooter can be seen walking south on Getty Avenue across Hemlock Street, holding something shiny in his hand. The victim then got out of a car and began walking on Getty, in the same direction as the shooter, about 20 feet ahead of him, the video showed.

The shooter, who was wearing a white shirt, paused near the curb while the victim turned around and looked at the man behind him, the video showed. The victim then continued walking and, talking on his cell phone, until he was out of camera range.

With the victim's shadow still stretching across the sidewalk, the gunman rushed forward, pointed the gun and began firing multiple shots, the video showed. Light flashed from the gun's barrel with each shot, the video showed. The gunman was outside a restaurant when he fired the shots while the victim was outside a go-go bar.

Moments later, the shooter ran in the street back to a waiting vehicle that was double-park and the vehicle sped off, the video showed.

The victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds and initially was in critical condition at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, police said. On Friday, the victim remained in critical but stable condition, according to authorities.

The corrections officers had been involved in a dispute, sources said. Authorities have not revealed what the dispute was about or exactly where it took place.

An employee at the go-go bar, Tease Gentlemen's Club, said the suspects in the shooting had not been inside the go-go bar prior to the incident. The employee said the victim escaped the gunfire by fleeing inside the bar, where staff members tried to stop the bleeding until paramedics arrived.

Authorities have not revealed whether the corrections officers knew the victim prior to the night of the shooting.

The officers, who work at Rikers Island, have been suspended from their law enforcement jobs in the New York, corrections officials said. Hood has been a corrections officer for almost eight years and Williams for almost four, officials said.

“We take this matter seriously and are conducting our own investigation,” said New York’s correction department deputy commissioner Peter Thorne.
