A man was shot and killed in front of his wife Sunday evening during a carjacking in the parking garage of an upscale New Jersey mall.
The couple had been shopping at the Mall at Short Hills in Millburn and were getting into their silver Range Rover at approximately 8:30 p.m. when two men approached and demanded the vehicle, The New York Post reported.
Officials say that the man was shot in the head when he resisted, before the carjackers jumped into the car and sped off.
The man was pronounced dead at Morristown Medical Center at 11:45 p.m. Sunday. His name was not immediately released, but acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray said the man was from Hudson County, N.J. Police were still looking for the vehicle as of early Monday morning. It is described as being a silver Range Rover with New Jersey license plates U26BVD
"It obviously was a car with some value," Murray said. "Our police department is out there and I'm sure they're doing everything that needs to be done."
The mall, located approximately 20 miles west of New York City, was briefly placed on lockdown until authorities determined there was no danger. The mall had been kept open later than normal for holiday shopping.
