In the afternoon of November 2, 2021, Alfred Cheatham, 25, was shot and killed on Whittlesey Avenue in East Orange, New Jersey, near the Garden State Parkway. Police found him mortally wounded and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:23 p.m. Investigators say the shooting followed an attempted robbery in which suspects approached Cheatham and a confrontation led to gunfire.

Cheatham had posted a gospel singing video on TikTok just hours before the shooting; his social media bio noted he had survived open-heart surgery and lived with a pacemaker. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Essex County Sheriff’s Office were investigating, released a photo of a vehicle believed to be involved, and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests had been announced.

If anyone saw activity on Whittlesey Avenue or recognizes the vehicle released by investigators, can you share information with the authorities?
