On the late afternoon of February 22, 2019, Jesse McNeill, 25, was on Clinton Avenue in Newark when shots were fired. Officers who responded to the 700 block shortly after 5:00 p.m. found McNeill unresponsive with apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:38 p.m.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force and Newark detectives opened an immediate investigation. That inquiry led to multiple arrests, including a man identified as Jessie McNeil, charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and two juveniles who were also arrested on similar charges.

What information do readers in Newark have about activity on Clinton Avenue that afternoon or about anyone who might have seen or heard something related to this shooting?
