On the evening of September 14, 2022, a dispute on a Newark street corner left 50-year-old Irvington resident Kyle Eley dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred at about 7:02 p.m. at the intersection of South Orange and Munn avenues. Officers found Eley at the scene and he was taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:26 p.m.

Investigators later arrested a 16-year-old and charged him in connection with the fatal shooting; the teenager’s name has not been released because of his age and he is being held at a juvenile detention center. Reports indicate the confrontation may have involved a disagreement over money and that Eley was armed with a golf club when he went to confront the juvenile. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force, with Newark Police detectives, is continuing the investigation.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at South Orange and Munn avenues or has information about the events leading up to it, please share what was seen or heard.
