On the evening of December 1, 2020, 20-year-old Dawson Bey of Bound Brook was shot near the intersection of Suydam Street and Throop Avenue in New Brunswick. Police received the call at about 8:13 p.m.; officers found Bey severely wounded and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another person was also injured in the same incident and went to a different hospital for treatment.

Investigators from the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Brunswick Police Department believe a black sedan was connected to the shooting and released images of the vehicle to the public. Despite appeals for information, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an open homicide investigation.

If anyone in the area that night saw the shooting or has information about the black sedan, please come forward to assist the investigation.
