On the evening of December 10, 2025, a shooting inside Platinum Sound NJ, a recording studio on Clinton Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, left 20-year-old Namir Bynum dead. Police arrived at about 8 p.m.; four people had gunshot wounds and Bynum was pronounced dead at the scene.

Prosecutors say surveillance footage captured an attack on Bynum by 20-year-old Naim Andrews and 20-year-old Osayuwamen Iyamu. Authorities allege Andrews shot Bynum. Investigators further contend that after being shot, Bynum fired back, fatally striking Iyamu and wounding Andrews. Iyamu was pronounced dead at University Hospital; Andrews was hospitalized and later charged with first-degree murder and related weapons offenses in Bynum’s death. A fourth person suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was released.

The motive for the initial attack on Bynum has not been disclosed. Does anyone have information about Bynum, his movements that night, or contacts who might help the ongoing investigation?
