Angel Montanez was 51 when he was shot and killed on February 16, 2019, in downtown Newark. The shooting happened at about 5:00 p.m. near 1100 Broad Street; three men were struck by gunfire and Montanez was pronounced dead at the scene about fifteen minutes later. Two other male victims were taken to University Hospital and were reported in stable condition.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Department of Public Safety investigated, canvassing the area and asking the public for information. No arrests have been announced and authorities have not publicly identified suspects or a motive, and the case has since gone cold. A GoFundMe was set up to help Montanez’s siblings with funeral expenses.

Did anyone in Newark see or hear anything in that area around 5:00 p.m. on February 16, 2019 that could help advance this investigation?
