On a Saturday afternoon in March 2017, 17-year-old Raquan Boundurant of Irvington, New Jersey, was found on Rose Street near Bergen Street in Newark with multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred at about 2:30 p.m., when the neighborhood would have been active with weekend activity.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation and publicly identified Boundurant as the homicide victim. In the days after the shooting no arrests were announced, and authorities did not release information about suspects or a motive. The case was reported alongside several other fatal shootings that contributed to a rise in Newark’s homicide rate that year.

If anyone knew Raquan, was in that area that afternoon, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
