On the night of May 21, 2021, in Jersey City, New Jersey, 26-year-old Jason Hood Crutcher, a Black male, was fatally shot while inside a vehicle at about 10:50 p.m. He was one of six people in the car when two assailants opened fire near Brinkerhoff Street and Crescent Avenue. Crutcher suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and extremities and was taken to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at about 11:50 p.m.

The same attack also killed 25-year-old Randolph Black Jr. and injured four other occupants. Witnesses reported a gray SUV fleeing the scene by driving the wrong way down a one-way street, and police searched for at least two suspects. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and the Jersey City Police Department opened a joint investigation.

Months later authorities arrested two men in connection with the double homicide: 21-year-old Cooleone McNeil was taken into custody at a movie theater in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and 19-year-old Omire Rios-Williams was arrested in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Both were charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and weapons offenses in the fatal shooting of Jason Hood Crutcher and Randolph Black Jr.
