Rasheed O.J. Olabode was a 27-year-old Nigerian immigrant and amateur photographer who was shot and killed in Newark, New Jersey, on the morning of April 26, 2018. While running errands with two friends, Olabode stopped to urinate behind his vehicle on the 700 block of South 20th Street after being unable to find a restroom. A neighbor, Christopher Poole, became enraged, went into his house across the street, returned with a gun and shot Olabode in the chest at point-blank range as his friends watched from the car.

After being shot, Olabode ran back to his friends’ car; they drove away and flagged down a police officer on South 18th Street. An ambulance transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Reports say Olabode pleaded for his life before the shooting.

Did anyone in Newark know Rasheed O.J. Olabode or witness the events on South 20th Street that morning?
