Eric Jones was 25 and a Newark resident when he was shot multiple times at the entrance of Grace West Manor Affordable Senior Living on Irvine Turner Boulevard in October 2017. Officers found Jones with gunshot wounds and he was taken to University Hospital, where he died.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force investigated the killing and has continued to seek public help. In October 2019 surveillance images were released of a person of interest seen wearing a mask and a hoodie at 301 Irvine Turner Boulevard, and in May 2021 the prosecutor’s office again requested assistance identifying an unidentified male near the scene.

If anyone has information about Eric Jones, the person seen on surveillance, or events at Irvine Turner Boulevard that evening, please share what you know.
