It’s been nearly a week since a 27-year-old township resident was killed in what authorities have said was a gunfight with township police.

Diahlo Grant early in the morning of April 9 allegedly led two police officers on a short chase from the area of Somerset and Home streets, through a ravine and into New Brunswick. The officers had recognized Grant as being wanted on warrants out of Somerset and Middlesex counties, and he ran when they confronted him, according to reports.
