On the evening of April 18, 2026, 20-year-old Marquir Darby was killed in a shooting at the intersection of 10th Avenue and East 29th Street in Paterson, New Jersey. At least ten shots were reportedly fired. Three other people were wounded, including a 12-year-old boy; two survivors were said to be in critical condition and a third was stable. The shooting happened near a 13-year-old’s birthday party, which attendees abruptly abandoned when the gunfire began.

A young witness described seeing two people exit a vehicle and start shooting. Darby’s uncle described him as a kind-hearted only child who loved basketball, had been looking for work at MetLife Stadium, and had recently lost his grandmother to cancer six months earlier. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests, suspects, or motive have been publicly announced.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that night have information that could help investigators?
