On the early morning of April 29, 2017, 20-year-old Amir Pleasant was sitting in the driver’s seat of his parked car on Dwight Street in Jersey City when a man approached and opened fire, striking him multiple times. Despite his injuries Pleasant drove away from the scene but crashed a few blocks later at the intersection of Grand Street and Jersey Avenue. Officers responding to the accident found him unconscious; he was taken to Jersey City Medical Center and pronounced dead. An autopsy listed gunshot wounds to the head and torso as the cause of death.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and Jersey City Police led the investigation and identified several people connected to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Amir, his movements that night, or witnesses who were in the Dwight Street or Grand Street areas that morning?
