"He's got a handgun on him," one officer could be heard saying on bodycam video.
Moments later, you can hear several gunshots being fired before Sharp falls to the ground. Officers tried to render aid but Sharp died from his injuries.
"The guy came out pointing a gun," an officer said after the shots were fired.
Authorities say a detailed replica of a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun was found near Sharp.
At least 12 shell casings were found in the middle of the road next to a police SUV in front of the home.
No officers were injured in the incident.
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office is continuing its investigation.
