Prosecutors are investigating a shooting during a police pursuit in Newark that resulted in an officer fatally shooting one man and critically injuring another.

The Essex County Prosecutor's Office says a grand jury will be presented with the case following a review of the shooting, which occurred around 11:30 p.m. Monday.

Prosecutors say a preliminary investigation indicates that Newark police tried to stop a vehicle, but the driver didn't stop. They say "shots were fired by one police officer at three separate locations."

The two suspects shot by the officer, 35-year-old Andrew Dixon and 46-year-old Gregory Griffin, both of Newark, were taken to University Hospital.

Prosecutors say that Griffin died from his injuries Tuesday afternoon. Dixon remained in critical condition, according to officials.

A loaded semi-automatic handgun was found in the vehicle, according to officials.

Prosecutors say use of force is taken seriously and their professional standards bureau will review the evidence carefully.
