On the afternoon of July 22, 2016, 27-year-old Jameel Daniels was shot on the 100 block of Astor Street in Newark, New Jersey. Police arrived around 4:15 p.m. after reports of gunfire and found Daniels lying unresponsive in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead at 5:12 p.m. Two other men were wounded in the same incident; their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Major Crimes Task Force, working with Newark detectives, opened an investigation. Daniels’ death added to a string of family tragedies: his family had already lost four brothers to gun violence in Newark within less than a decade. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about the shooting on Astor Street that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
