Joseph Tann Jr., 37, was fatally shot on August 31, 2016, near the corner of Summer and Pearl streets in Paterson, New Jersey. He was with a friend, Tyrus Odom-Holly, who survived; Odom-Holly later reported hearing gunfire and then seeing Tann on the ground. Investigators determined a single gunman on foot carried out the shooting.

Tann’s death was the third homicide in Paterson within five days, a sequence that prompted then-mayor Joey Torres to announce a $15,000 reward funded by an anonymous donor for information leading to arrests and convictions in the recent killings, including Tann’s. Despite the reward and police efforts, no immediate arrests were made and authorities were examining whether his killing was connected to the other recent shootings. It is unclear from available details whether any suspects were later identified or apprehended.

If anyone knew Joseph Tann or has information about the shooting near Summer and Pearl on August 31, 2016, please come forward.
