Shortly after midnight on April 30, 2024, Jersey City police responded to reports of gunfire near Audubon Avenue and College Street and found 24-year-old David Davon Jones unresponsive at 1 College St. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his upper body and was taken to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 1:30 a.m. A second man, 23, was located nearby with a non–life-threatening gunshot wound to an upper extremity.

Neighbors reported hearing multiple shots, including a series of about six, a pause, then another round; a black vehicle was seen leaving the area. The shooting, which occurred near New Jersey City University, was described by authorities as an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the campus community.

Weeks of investigation by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and the Jersey City Police Department produced arrests of two Jersey City men, both 23: Nyzir Wilson and Stephon Murphy. Both face charges including robbery, burglary and weapons offenses, and Wilson was also charged with attempted murder; both were being held at the Hudson County Correctional Facility awaiting court appearances.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or near the campus see that black vehicle or have information about the moments before or after the shooting?
