A Newark man was killed in an apparently targeted shooting on the night of September 6, 2021. Jeread Hollaway, 34, was found with multiple gunshot wounds on Brookdale Avenue in the upper West Ward shortly after neighbors reported screams and shots at about 11:10 p.m. Emergency responders and medical personnel pronounced Hollaway dead at the scene.

Police say an armed assailant pointed a weapon at Hollaway and fired; the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office took over the homicide investigation. Authorities described the killing as an execution, but a motive had not been established and no arrests or public identifications of suspects were reported at the time.

If anyone saw activity around 118 Brookdale Avenue that night or has information about Hollaway, please share what is known with investigators.
