A Jersey City man was killed in an early morning shooting on November 13, 2021. Police found 41-year-old Ishamell Alameen McCany near Grant Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive with a gunshot wound to his torso. He was taken to Jersey City Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit handled the investigation and initially had no suspects in custody. In January 2022 authorities located and arrested 34-year-old Anthony King in Raleigh, North Carolina, charging him with McCany’s murder. In March 2022 a second man, 33-year-old Damean Bates of West Orange, was arrested in Raleigh and charged with attempted murder in connection with the same incident; both were to be extradited to New Jersey.

If anyone in Jersey City that morning saw activity near Grant Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive or has information about McCany’s death, please come forward.
