Joshua Roche was 32 and a resident of Tully House, a transitional facility for inmates nearing the end of their sentences, when he was fatally shot on March 12, 2018. The killing occurred at about 1:20 p.m. near East Peddie Street and Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark, an area described as industrial and isolated. His death was the third homicide in the city inside a 19-hour span that day.

Authorities noted Roche’s troubled past and framed his death alongside other recent killings involving young men with criminal histories, where retaliation or ongoing criminal activity has been a common factor. Officials say many recent Newark homicides have seen suspects arrested or identified, but no public details about suspects or arrests in Roche’s case have been released. Does anyone have information about Roche, his movements that afternoon, or about witnesses near East Peddie and Frelinghuysen on March 12, 2018?
