On the evening of October 16, 2022, 22-year-old Emmanuelle Florestal was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in the area of Hendricks Drive in Union, New Jersey. Union Police Officers discovered him at approximately 6:39 p.m.; he was taken to University Hospital and later pronounced dead. Florestal was a resident of Irvington.

The investigation became a multi-agency effort led by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force and the Union Township Police Department, with assistance from the Union County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit, Union County Police Ballistics, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the New York City Police Department. Two suspects were identified in the fatal shooting.

In March 2023 two 19-year-old men were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses: Ducarmel H. Georges of Brooklyn, New York, arrested March 20, and Ahmad Conde of Elizabeth, New Jersey, arrested March 28 after a brief period as a fugitive. If convicted they face the possibility of life in state prison.

Does anyone have information about Florestal’s last known movements or who might have been in the Hendricks Drive area that evening?
