Victor Bryant, 28, was shot in broad daylight on Thursday, January 4, 2018, in the 100 block of Chadwick Avenue in Newark. Around 1:30 p.m. he was struck by gunfire, taken by private vehicle to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead by doctors. His death was recorded as the city’s first homicide of the new year.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and the Newark Police Department opened an active investigation and asked the public for information. In the initial days no suspects were identified and no arrests were announced as detectives worked to establish what happened.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity in the area that afternoon and haven’t spoken with investigators?
