Howard Young Jr., a 22-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on November 25, 2016, in Burlington City, New Jersey. Authorities found him about 4:45 p.m. on the 100 block of East Federal Street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival. An autopsy reported the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the back.

Police identified 27-year-old Darius Bridges of Beverly, New Jersey, as the suspect and charged him with Young’s murder. At the time the warrant in this case was served, Bridges was already in the Burlington County Jail on unrelated charges. Officials did not release a clear motive for the shooting. This was the second fatal shooting on East Federal Street that year, a fact that drew community concern.
