Jason Eric Dunbar, 35, was shot in Jersey City on the night of August 27, 2019. Police responded about 11:45 p.m. to reports of gunfire near 169 Fulton Avenue and found Dunbar with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Jersey City Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after midnight on August 28, 2019. The Regional Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds and the manner homicide.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Jersey City Police Department investigated. Authorities said they did not believe the killing was random. On October 1, 2019, 33-year-old Darius Bolden of Jersey City was arrested; prosecutors alleged the shooting was retaliation for a Facebook video showing Dunbar pushing Bolden during a fight. A 30-year-old Jersey City woman, Yasmin Tejada, was charged with hindering the investigation for allegedly giving false information.

Bolden was convicted at trial on July 5, 2022, and later sentenced in November 2022. An appeals court overturned the murder conviction in May 2025, citing problems with unauthenticated video evidence, interrogation footage, and prosecutorial remarks; the prosecutor’s office said it would review whether to seek a new trial.

Does anyone have information about Dunbar’s last movements near Fulton Avenue on August 27, 2019?
