On the afternoon of March 9, 2021, 22-year-old Dedric Bracey was shot on St. Paul Avenue in Newark shortly before 4:00 p.m. A dark-colored SUV pulled up and three people inside opened fire. Bracey suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to University Hospital, and was pronounced dead a short time later.

Detectives located and stopped a vehicle matching the description in neighboring Irvington and detained three males. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Homicide Task Force charged 19-year-old Tyshon Armor of Newark, 18-year-old Reynold Henderson of Irvington, and 20-year-old Isaad S. Jackson of Newark with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and weapons offenses. Prosecutors said Armour and Jackson fired 13 shots at Bracey; a jury later found the three guilty.
