On the evening of November 17, 2017, 27-year-old Shakeem Bernard, known to family as Breeze, was fatally shot near 34 Evergreen Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. A 911 call around 9:30 p.m. led police to find Bernard with a gunshot wound; he was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police observed a vehicle fleeing the scene and pursued it to the 200 block of Frelinghuysen Avenue, where the car crashed and caught fire. One occupant was extricated from the burning wreck; none of the vehicle’s occupants suffered serious injuries. Two suspects were initially taken into custody.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and Newark detectives later arrested three people in connection with the killing. Ali Berger, 27, and Daquan Berger, 24, were charged with conspiracy, murder, and weapons offenses; 24-year-old Wajeirah Wilson was charged with conspiracy and weapons offenses.
