Jonas Larose was a 55-year-old taxi driver and immigrant from Haiti who was killed on the night of November 30, 2016, in Orange, New Jersey. Around 11:00 PM he answered a fare on the 200 block of Snyder Street; the two people who entered his cab — 23-year-old Sheedley Pierre and a 14-year-old male accomplice — intended to rob him. Witnesses reported hearing popping sounds and then seeing the suspects flee on foot. Police found Larose in his crashed vehicle with two gunshot wounds to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The attackers left without taking any money.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and Orange Police identified Pierre and the juvenile as the primary suspects. The juvenile was arrested days later and charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, and weapons offenses. Pierre was arrested and charged as well; prosecutors reported witness testimony and DNA from a bloody jacket linking him to the victim. In May 2019 a jury found Sheedley Pierre guilty on all counts and the juvenile received a 10-year juvenile detention sentence.

Does anyone have information about Larose’s final fare or the events on Snyder Street that night?
