On November 8, 2022, shortly before 2:40 p.m., police responded to a reported shooting on the 900 block of South Orange Avenue in Newark and found 23-year-old Nyshon Anthony with a gunshot wound. Anthony, a Black resident of Newark and an aspiring rap artist also known as GunHead, was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead the next day at 2:07 p.m.

Investigators described the killing as the result of a feud between rival street gangs in Newark. Anthony was associated with the GBlock gang, linked to the Grape Street Crips, and the conflict reportedly escalated through threatening and disrespectful music videos and songs exchanged between Anthony and a rival rapper. Authorities say two Newark men, 19-year-old Tyler Shorter, known as Money Bags, and 20-year-old Amir Canty, known as Blast, both identified as members of the Sex, Money, Murder gang, were arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. Charges include conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

Did anyone who knew Nyshon or saw activity on South Orange Avenue that afternoon notice anything that could help clarify what happened?
