On the night of July 24, 2023, gunfire erupted on the 300 block of Clinton Avenue in Newark. At about 10:05 p.m. officers found three people with gunshot wounds; all were taken to University Hospital. Victor Roberts, 28, of East Orange, was among them and died at 10:41 p.m. The other two victims — a 24-year-old woman and a 6-year-old child — survived after treatment.

Investigators say more than a dozen rounds were fired toward the victims before the shooter or shooters fled. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation. In the days after the shooting no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified.
