Anthony M. McGriff, 34, was shot on the 100 block of Prince Street in Newark on April 12, 2021, at approximately 4:23 p.m. He was taken to University Hospital but died of his injuries and was pronounced dead at 5:08 p.m.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and Newark Police detectives opened an investigation. In the weeks and months after the shooting there were no arrests; by June the prosecutor’s office had asked the public to help identify a person of interest and urged anyone with information to come forward. Calls were said to be confidential.

The investigation remained active and ongoing. If anyone has information about Anthony McGriff’s shooting or the person of interest, contact the authorities.
