On the evening of December 2, 2021, 25-year-old Jasmin Wel was sitting in her car outside her home on East 24th Street in Paterson, New Jersey, when she was struck by gunfire at about 8:18 p.m. Police found her with gunshot wounds; she was taken to Saint Joseph’s University Medical Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Paterson Police Department and the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office led the homicide investigation. In 2022 an arrest was made charging Kristian Gonzalez of Lyndhurst with the murder, but that case did not resolve the investigation. Authorities later identified two different men, Jefersson Gonzalez, 25, and Elvis DeJesus, 29, both of Paterson, who were arrested and charged in connection with Ms. Wel’s death.

Only limited details about motive and the sequence of events leading up to the shooting have been released. If anyone knew Jasmin Wel, saw her on December 2, 2021, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help the investigation.
