Anthony McNeal, 35, was found fatally shot on the sidewalk near 454 Union Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey, on the evening of August 31, 2021. Police were dispatched after a report of a shooting at about 7:53 p.m.; medical personnel attempted life-saving measures but McNeal was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a father of ten children.

The Paterson Police Department and the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, with assistance from the United States Secret Service and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, identified a person of interest and pursued leads into New York. On September 13, 2021, Rondell Gray, 40, of North Haledon, was arrested in Brooklyn without incident and held at Riker’s Island pending extradition to New Jersey. After the extradition process, Gray was charged with murder, carjacking, possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a handgun; authorities allege he also carjacked a separate victim after McNeal was killed.

Does anyone who lived in the area or knew Anthony have information that could shed light on what happened that night?
