On the evening of November 3, 2016, a burst of gunfire on Fulton Avenue in Jersey City ended with 34-year-old Michael Bowers lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. Police arrived after reports of shots fired around 9:15 p.m.; emergency medical personnel treated Bowers at the scene and transported him to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 10:00 p.m.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit, assisted by the Jersey City Police Department, later arrested two people in connection with the killing: 20-year-old Khalil Holmes of Jersey City and a 16-year-old male from Newark. Both were charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, and conspiracy to commit murder; a judge set bail for Holmes at $1 million, cash only.
