Victims ID'd, Details Revealed In Murder-Suicide In Bergen County

More details were revealed after two bodies were found in an apparent murder-suicide after a kidnapping in Passaic and Bergen counties on Monday, according to authorities.

The abducted victim was identified as Marcia Fererra, 41, of Paterson, and the suspect was identified as Jose Segura-Montero, 45, of Paterson, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.

The shooting deaths occurred at the Knights Inn Motel at 410 Route 46 westbound in South Hackensack, New Jersey, according to the BCPO.

The shootings happened at approximately 5:06 a.m., when the Paterson Police Department received a 911 call reporting a domestic violence/kidnapping at 132 16th Avenue in Paterson.

The investigation ultimately led Paterson officers to check the area of the Knights Inn in South Hackensack, where the suspect’s vehicle was found, according to the BCPO.

Detectives from the Paterson Police Department, accompanied by officers from the South Hackensack Police Department, approached room 130 at the Knights Inn at approximately 8:37 a.m. Upon announcing their presence, the officers heard gunshots fired inside the room and immediately tried to force entry, according to the BCPO.

After being unable to force open the door, one Paterson officer discharged his firearm, firing a single round through a lower corner of the tempered glass window. Once the window shattered, the officer made entry through it and discovered the lifeless bodies of both the victim and suspect, according to the BCPO.

The shot fired by an officer did not strike anyone, according to the BCPO.

During the crime scene examination, a revolver was recovered. It appears that Segura-Montero shot and killed the victim and then turned the gun on himself; however, the final determination as to the cause and manner of death will be determined by the Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office.
