In the early morning hours of Thursday, December 17, 2015, Naji Everett, 26, was found unresponsive outside a home on Joyce Street in West Orange, New Jersey, just over the border from Orange. West Orange police discovered Everett suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:30 a.m. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force and West Orange Police launched a homicide investigation.

In March 2016 authorities announced arrests in the case. Three men were charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and weapons offenses and later indicted by a grand jury. One defendant has pleaded and another has been tried; court proceedings have continued in the matter. What additional information might help clarify who was responsible for Everett’s killing or explain the circumstances that led to him being on Joyce Street that morning?
