A fatal shooting in Irvington, New Jersey, took the life of 38-year-old Lloyd R. Brummel Jr. on the afternoon of October 25, 2016. At about 4:35 p.m. Brummel was standing near his work vehicle in the 300 block of Myrtle Avenue when he was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene less than twenty minutes later. Brummel was a Black / African American resident of Irvington.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and the Irvington Police Department opened an investigation and initially sought the public’s help when no suspects had been identified. Weeks later, two cousins, Jahyde Easterling, 26, of Irvington, and Shadeek Easterling, 34, of East Orange, were arrested; Shadeek was held on charges including conspiracy and murder, and Jahyde was charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Bail was set for both men and they were being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility.

Anyone who knew Lloyd Brummel or has information about the shooting in the 300 block of Myrtle Avenue is asked to come forward.
