Jayla Green was 16 when she was shot at a candlelight vigil in Newark on the evening of January 26, 2019. The vigil near Bergen Street and Madison Avenue had been held for two teenage boys killed in a car crash. At about 9:15 p.m., gunfire broke out in the crowd; four young women, ages 16 to 20, were hit. Jayla was struck in the head and taken to University Hospital on life support.

She died of her injuries on February 3, 2019. The mayor called her death a cowardly act of hatred, and the shooting deeply affected the community. Police opened an investigation and offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Does anyone who attended that vigil or who was in the area that night have information that could help bring Jayla’s killers to justice?
