Travis Swepson was 25 when he was found dead in the driver’s seat of a crashed car in Newark on September 16, 2016. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene after determining he had sustained a gunshot wound. Investigators concluded the shooting occurred on South 9th Street and that Swepson had driven several blocks before his vehicle came to rest at 14th Avenue and South 6th Street.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force led the inquiry and identified a Newark resident as a suspect. Less than a week after the killing, that man was arrested and charged with murder and multiple weapons offenses.

Did anyone in the Newark area see the crash or have information about Swepson on South 9th Street that morning?
