In the early hours of February 27, 2021, 51-year-old Jose Miguel Medero was found shot in his vehicle in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Patrolling officers discovered him near Seaman Street and Remsen Avenue at about 1:18 a.m.; he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Brunswick Police Department opened a homicide investigation that identified 20-year-old John Santanna of Bound Brook as the shooter. Authorities say Santanna shot Medero while Medero was seated in his car. Santanna was arrested on March 1, 2021, and charged with first-degree murder and two second-degree weapons offenses: unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm for an illegal purpose. He was held at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center pending a pre-trial detention hearing. The motive has not been disclosed and the investigation remained active, with officials asking the public for any information.

Did anyone in the New Brunswick area see activity near Seaman Street and Remsen Avenue the morning of February 27, 2021, or have information relevant to this case?
