VINELAND, N.J. (AP) - Authorities have identified a police detective who fatally shot a man in southern New Jersey last month.
The state attorney general’s office says Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office Detective John Caccia fired his Glock 19 service pistol three times at 19-year-old Jacob Servais in the parking lot of a vehicle rental center in Vineland on Oct. 18. The Millville man was taken to a hospital but died there a short time later.
Cacia’s name was made public Wednesday. But authorities haven’t said whether Servais was armed at the time, citing the ongoing investigation.
