Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr., requests the public’s help in locating Jamarcus Fennel, 35, of Pennsylvania, who is wanted for questioning about a shooting that occurred on September 1, 2025.
 
At approximately 9:18 a.m., the Shot Spotter detection system picked up gunfire on Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson Boulevard near Oriental Street. Police Officers responded, canvassed the area, and located six 9mm shell casings.
