On July 26, 2021, at about 11 p.m., 35-year-old Nadir Hakim Johnson of Covington, Georgia, was found suffering from apparent gunshot wounds on the sidewalk in front of 216 17th Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey. He was taken to Saint Joseph’s Medical Center and later pronounced dead. The Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office has classified the death as a homicide.

The corner of East 28th Street and 17th Avenue is described by residents as a troubled spot with drug activity, loud music, and large gatherings; that intersection had seen two other non-fatal shootings in the eight months before Johnson’s death. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced and the investigation remains active.

Does anyone have information about that area or Johnson’s movements that night that could help the ongoing investigation?
