On the evening of October 7, 2019, 27-year-old Faheem Muhammad of Newark was fatally shot near the intersection of Wainwright Street and Lyons Avenue in the city’s South Ward. Police responded shortly after multiple gunshots were heard just before 7:50 p.m. and found Muhammad’s body; he was pronounced dead a short time later at University Hospital. He was a father of three young girls.

Investigators from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Police Department secured the scene and began an active search for the shooter, who fled and remained at large. No other injuries were reported. On November 8, 2019, the Prosecutor’s Office released surveillance images of a person of interest last seen running north on Wainwright Street, asking the public for help identifying that individual. There have been no public announcements of arrests in connection with the homicide.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night, or does anyone recognize the person of interest released by investigators?
