Shortly before 1:00 a.m. on August 12, 2020, gunfire erupted near 186 North 12th Street in Newark’s North Ward. Eighteen-year-old Tyrese McNeil was among a group of young men struck; he was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:21 a.m. Four other men, aged between 19 and 31, were wounded and later reported in stable condition.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and Newark Police detectives opened an active investigation into the shooting and asked the public for information. At the time of the initial reports no arrests had been announced and no suspects had been publicly identified.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that night or who has information about the shooting contact investigators with what they know?
