Isaiah Spicer, 24, was found fatally shot in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 4, 2021, on the 1200 block of Coolidge Avenue in Union, New Jersey. Union Township Police responded to a call at about 1:30 a.m. and pronounced Spicer dead at the scene after he sustained gunshot wounds to his head and neck described by authorities as execution-style. Several shell casings were recovered.

The Union County Homicide Task Force worked with multiple local agencies and identified a suspect the next day. Twenty-four-year-old Shannon Assing of Perth Amboy turned himself in and was charged with first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, and burglary. Investigators say the shooting happened in front of Assing’s ex-girlfriend’s home, and Assing admitted to shooting Spicer.

If anyone in Union knew Isaiah or witnessed the events of that night, or has information that wasn’t reported, please come forward.
