On Labor Day weekend in Paterson, New Jersey, 33-year-old Nykeema Kersey was shot and killed while sitting in a BMW on 12th Avenue on September 2, 2018. The same attack also killed 48-year-old Daryl Tann and critically wounded Latoya Lesane; two other people were wounded. After the shots were fired the BMW drove off and later stopped on East 18th Street and Broadway, where Kersey was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied the shooting to a domestic dispute. Authorities identified 31-year-old Jonathan Hernandez as the suspect, saying earlier that day he had damaged Lesane’s vehicle with a baseball bat and had a physical altercation with Lesane and three other victims outside the Elks Lodge on Ellison Street. About an hour after that confrontation, Hernandez allegedly approached the parked BMW on 12th Avenue and opened fire. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree attempted murder and multiple weapons offenses; police described him as armed and dangerous and sought the public’s help locating him.

Does anyone who knew Nykeema, Daryl, Latoya or the others have information about that day or the people involved?
