Anthony M. Johnson, 32, of Irvington, was found with multiple gunshot wounds near Madison Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue in Newark at about 12:48 a.m. on March 19, 2020. He was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:21 a.m. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force, with Newark Police detectives, classified the death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Investigators reported the shooting appeared to be a targeted attack and connected it to gang-related activity in the area. Several suspects were identified; two men, Tyler Shorter and Amir Canty, were later charged in connection with Johnson’s death. They were described as members of the Sex, Money, Murder street gang tied to the Bradley Court Housing Complex, and were charged with murder in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

Does anyone have information about Johnson, the Bradley Court area, or the events of that night that could help the investigation?
