Detective Joseph A. Joe Seals, 40, was killed while on duty at Bayview Cemetery in Jersey City on December 10, 2019. He had been at the cemetery reportedly investigating a homicide when he encountered a U-Haul van connected to the case and was fatally shot. Seals was a married father of five and a 13-year veteran of the Jersey City Police Department.

After the shooting, the two people in the van, David Anderson, 47, and Francine Graham, 50, fled to a kosher supermarket in the Greenville section of Jersey City and opened fire. A prolonged shootout with responding officers ended inside the market, where Anderson and Graham were killed. Three civilians in the store also died. Investigators concluded the motive involved anti-Semitic and anti-law enforcement beliefs and treated the attack as domestic terrorism; officers who killed the two suspects were not charged.

If anyone has information about Detective Seals, his movements at the cemetery that day, or the events at the market, please share what is known.
