On the morning of July 21, 2016, 28-year-old Javon Murray was found fatally shot on Clinton Avenue in Jersey City. He was discovered at about 2:45 a.m. with a single gunshot wound that entered the back of his neck and exited through his cheek, and was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later.

Investigators from the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office concluded robbery did not appear to be the motive, noting Murray still had money in his hand. Their inquiry identified Justin Garcia as the person who had lured Murray to that location and was responsible for the shooting. Garcia was arrested and charged in connection with Murray’s death; a jury later convicted him.

In June 2018 Garcia, then 27, received a lengthy prison term for the killing. Did anyone in Jersey City see Murray the night before or have information about where he was headed that morning?
