A late-night shooting on a September Monday left 34-year-old Brooke B. Cline dead on Kearny Street in Newark. Responding officers found her unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds; she was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead at approximately 4:30 a.m. Neighbors remembered her as a quiet resident who had lived in Newark for about four years.

Investigators from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office identified two people in connection with the fatal shooting. Kidanys Maldonado, 25, of Newark, was charged with murder and held at the Essex County Jail; a juvenile was also charged. Authorities did not immediately release a motive. Friends and family shared memories on social media and a GoFundMe was started to assist her children and funeral expenses.

If anyone knew Brooke, saw activity on Kearny Street that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
