Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help identifying the below-pictured suspects in connection with a shooting that occurred on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
At approximately 8:51 p.m., Police responded to Dickerson Street near Hecker Street on a call of shots fired. Responding Officers did not locate any victims, but observed that a vehicle parked in the area and a residential building in the area were both struck by gunfire.
Detectives investigating this incident determined that two individuals had been riding on a scooter heading southbound on Hecker Street before an argument ensued with other individuals in the area. The rear scooter passenger got off the scooter, removed a firearm from his waistband, and began shooting at the individuals.
Director Fragé urges anyone with information about the identity of either of these suspects to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
