In the early morning hours of Halloween 2016 a single gunshot ended the life of 19-year-old Shariff Aaron on Olive Street in Salem, New Jersey. He was found on the sidewalk on the southwest side of the street about 50 feet from the intersection with East Broadway; first responders arrived around 12:20 a.m. Bystanders, including the person who placed the 911 call, were at the scene but offered no information. Aaron was airlifted to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, and died about six hours later.

An autopsy confirmed a single bullet to the neck as the cause of death. The neighborhood was known for open-air drug activity, and a non-fatal shooting had occurred at the same intersection a month earlier. Despite appeals from police, no witnesses cooperated publicly and no suspects or motive have been announced; the investigation later went cold.

Does anyone who lived in or near Olive Street in 2016 have information that could help bring answers?
