Farad Green, 39, was fatally shot in the early morning of September 23, 2017. Police found him unconscious and unresponsive inside an eatery on the 400 block of Hawthorne Avenue in Newark’s South Ward shortly before 12:30 a.m.; medics pronounced him dead at the scene from gunshot wounds. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office opened a homicide investigation and has said the motive remains unclear. Investigators have considered whether the killing was retaliation related to Green’s past, but no arrests have been announced in connection with his death.

Green had prior brushes with the law. In 2011 he was arrested and charged in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Latisha Brown of East Orange; that arrest followed a multi-agency effort and anonymous tips and resulted in his apprehension in Iselin. The case into his 2017 killing remains open. If anyone knew Green, saw activity on Hawthorne Avenue that night, or has information relevant to the shooting, please share what was observed with investigators.
