Gerard W. Jones, 49, of Hackettstown, was fatally shot on a Newark street in the early hours of April 26, 2016. The shooting occurred at about 12:30 a.m. near Poinier Street and was reported to have arisen from a prior dispute. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Public Safety Director’s office opened an investigation into the homicide.

On May 5, 2016, authorities arrested 30-year-old Alphonso Richardson of Orange and charged him with Jones’s murder plus weapons offenses. Richardson was held at the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark with bail set at $750,000 and was scheduled for a first court appearance on May 10, 2016.

Are there details about Jones’s movements in Newark that night or witnesses who saw him near Poinier Street?
