Aundre Singh, 32, was killed during a home invasion in Newark, New Jersey, on the night of August 18, 2015. Police responding to a shooting shortly before midnight found Singh and a 31-year-old man with gunshot wounds inside a Sanford Avenue residence. Both were taken to University Hospital; Singh later died and was pronounced dead about 3 a.m. the next day after being shot in the head. The other victim survived injuries to his hand and groin.

Authorities concluded the attack was not random and that Singh was the target. Three men were charged in connection with the killing: 25-year-old Aaron Terrell faced felony murder and weapons charges, and 25-year-old Papayaw Mack and 25-year-old Jahad Lemons were also charged with homicide. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Lemons leaving with a pair of Singh’s shoes, and prosecutors said the group forced entry, robbed occupants of cash and belongings, and that Terrell and another now-deceased co-conspirator fired the shots. Lemons later pleaded guilty to murder during a crime of violence while his attorney said he did not fire the weapon.
