On the night of Monday, December 4, 2017, 29-year-old Marcos Angamarca-Yupa was shot and killed in the driveway of his Grove Street home in Irvington, New Jersey. He, his wife, and their 8-year-old son had been returning from a prayer service at Saint Leo’s Church when two armed individuals approached as they were parking, demanded money, and in the ensuing chaos one gunman fired, fatally wounding Marcos while his wife chased their fleeing child. His brother arrived to find him on the ground and police on scene.

Marcos had emigrated from Ecuador with his family about four years earlier and was working in construction. Authorities from the Irvington Police Division and the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide-Major Crimes Task Force said the preliminary investigation indicated robbery as the motive; no arrests or public identifications of suspects had been announced and the probe remained active.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the two armed suspects, please share what is known.
