Steven Malcolm was 32 when he was found shot to death in a Newark residential neighborhood on February 20, 2016. Authorities described his death as a targeted attack; he sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

The Newark Police Department collected forensic evidence, reviewed surveillance footage, and conducted numerous interviews, but the inquiry initially struggled for lack of eyewitnesses and clear leads. Months later investigators identified several people believed connected to the murder, with reported ties to local gangs, and moved to arrest and charge them on counts including homicide and unlawful possession of firearms.

Prosecutors relied on the crime scene forensics and witness testimony that emerged as the case progressed. Defense challenges to evidence and witness credibility were raised at trial, and a jury later returned guilty verdicts in the case.

Does anyone in Newark remember details from that February 2016 incident or have information that could add context to Malcolm’s death?
