On the late afternoon of March 20, 2019, 18-year-old Marquise Jenkins was fatally shot on Clinton Avenue in Irvington, New Jersey, shortly after 3 p.m. Jenkins, a student at Irvington High School who had moved to Irvington from Newark, was found by first responders with gunshot wounds and taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Jenkins running from a hooded individual who was shooting at him.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force and the Irvington Police Department opened an investigation. For more than two years the case remained without an arrest. Jenkins was remembered by some as a nice kid who had moved to town hoping for a fresh start. Does anyone have information about Jenkins, the scene on Clinton Avenue that afternoon, or the people who might have been involved?
