Sean L. Scott was 28 when he was shot and killed on the night of Sunday, January 31, 2016, on the 600 block of 18th Street in Newark. Police found him suffering from a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene just before midnight. His death was one of several homicides in Newark during a brief surge of gun violence that winter.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Police Department assigned detectives from the Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and opened an investigation. Authorities appealed to the public for information in the days after the shooting, but no suspects were identified at that time.

Does anyone who lived or was in that neighborhood on January 31, 2016, remember noticing anything that could help the investigation?
