Gerome had his 18-month-old child in the car when the incident happened, Cruz said. Gerome had an active license to carry a firearm.
He was arrested without incident, according to Cruz.
It happened right in the middle of town at dinner time, so there were a lot of witnesses who described a scary situation.
"I saw a man walk up to another gentleman they were having an argument and he pulled out a gun, shot him at least twice, the man stepped back fell back towards the back side of main street he twitched a bunch, came back and stood over the man and it looked like he tried to give him CPR," said Joel Burrelli, a witness to the incident.
Berkley was rushed to Beth Israel Deaconess hospital where he was pronounced dead.
