Tony Mustafa Branch, 25, was shot and killed while walking with his 23-year-old sister in the 100 block of Seymour Avenue in Newark on January 16, 2017. Gunfire struck both siblings; Tony received fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. His sister’s name was not released; she was taken to a local hospital and reported in stable condition.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation and asked the public for information that could lead to those responsible. Family and friends remembered Tony in an obituary that described him as a beloved individual whose life was cut short. Initial reports indicated no arrests and no publicly identified suspects.

Does anyone who was in that area on January 16, 2017, or who knew Tony or his sister have information that could help the investigation?
