In the early morning of Sunday, September 16, 2018, a GMC Yukon that had struck a pole near Harrison Avenue and Frank Rodgers Boulevard in Harrison, New Jersey, led police to a homicide scene. The body of 31-year-old Shadi Miles of Newark was found next to the vehicle and had sustained an apparent gunshot wound to the torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene about 4:55 a.m. Investigators believe Miles had been in the Yukon when he was shot. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit took the lead on the inquiry.

A second person, 19-year-old Joseph Bossie of East Orange, was also shot and believed to have been in the same vehicle. After the crash, Bossie fled, forcibly took a bicycle from someone near Warren Street while striking that person with a pistol, and later sought treatment at University Hospital in Newark for gunshot wounds to his face and a lower extremity. Bossie was charged with armed robbery and weapons offenses for the bicycle theft.

Does anyone have information about Shadi Miles, his movements that night, or witnesses to the shooting or the vehicle’s travel prior to the crash?
