Tyquan Rogers, 20, was fatally shot on the evening of Monday, December 28, 2015, on the 200 block of South 11th Street in Newark. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 7:15 p.m. and found Rogers unresponsive on the sidewalk with apparent gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 8:00 p.m.

Tyquan was the third of the family’s sons killed by gun violence; his older brothers Anthony and Antoine Rogers had been shot and killed in 2011 and 2012. The mother’s loss was noted publicly by Mayor Ras Baraka, who spoke about the city’s failure to protect its youth. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation and asked the public for information. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects as of the last report.

If anyone knew Tyquan, his routine that evening, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
