Joshua L. Moore, 36, was shot and killed on Newark streets in the early hours of Sunday, August 14, 2016. Police responded to reports of shots fired near the intersection of E. Peddie Street and Frelinghuysen Avenue at about 12:10 a.m. and found Moore; he was pronounced dead at the scene just over twenty minutes later.

The Newark Police Department and the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation. No suspects were immediately identified and no arrests have been made; the case remains active. The Essex County Sheriff’s Crimestoppers Program offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Moore’s obituary states he passed away suddenly and is survived by his family.
