On the evening of May 6, 2019, 40-year-old Murad Harris was among a group of men near Maple and Chancellor avenues in Newark when a stolen Dodge Durango arrived and its occupants began firing. Witnesses reported the group scattered; one of the passengers, identified as Tymeer Gumbs, exited the vehicle, pursued Harris as he tried to flee, and fatally shot him in the back of the head. The Durango fled the scene after an attempted additional shooting that failed when the gun jammed. Harris was pronounced dead the following morning.

An Essex County Homicide Task Force investigation led to the arrest of two Newark men, 25-year-olds Tymeer Gumbs and Isaiah Kane, who were accused of conspiring in the attack. Gumbs was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, weapons offenses, and hindering prosecution; Kane was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated manslaughter, weapons offenses, and eluding police. A jury later found both men guilty. Sentencing was scheduled for February 8, 2024.

Does anyone have information about Harris’s final movements that night or about activity around Maple and Chancellor avenues that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
