Troy Ibn Branch, 29, was shot and killed on Christmas Eve 2018 on the 200-block of Peshine Avenue in Newark. Police responded shortly before 5 p.m.; Branch was found unresponsive with apparent gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:40 p.m. Reports described him as mentally challenged.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Homicide Task Force, working with Newark detectives, handled the investigation. For a period no suspects were publicly identified while authorities appealed for information. In early January 2019, officials announced the arrest of 24-year-old Hassan Fisher of Newark, who was charged with Branch’s murder and taken into custody; the investigation was described as active and ongoing at that time.

Does anyone in Newark have information about Troy, his movements on December 24, 2018, or what happened on Peshine Avenue that afternoon?
