Alshaquir Duval, 21, was fatally shot in Jersey City on the evening of August 4, 2021. Officers found him with gunshot wounds in front of 182 Cator Avenue near the intersection of Rose and Cator Avenues and Old Bergen Road at about 8:22 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:32 p.m. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Jersey City Police Department opened an investigation.

The shooting happened adjacent to Ferris Triangle Park, an area described as a hotspot for gang-related violence. The park had undergone renovations and held a ribbon-cutting just over a month before the killing, a development that made the fatal shooting particularly striking to residents.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. If anyone has information that could help identify those responsible, please contact the authorities.
