Davinder Singh, 47, was fatally shot at the Power Gas Station on West Market Street in Newark on May 30, 2016. Singh, a Sikh who had emigrated from India 25 years earlier and was known locally as David, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest and taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His son, Jatinder Singh, said his father had stepped out of his office for fresh air when an assailant approached, pointed a gun, and shot him at point-blank range.

Nothing was taken and there appeared to be no struggle, so the family suspected the killing was a hate crime; authorities did not immediately classify it as such. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Major Crimes Task Force and Newark Police reviewed surveillance footage as part of the investigation. On August 10, 2016, Malcolm Massey, 49, of Newark, was arrested and charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, and weapons offenses; bail was set at $1 million.

Does anyone have information about Singh’s final hours, the surveillance footage, or the events at the gas station that afternoon?
