On the morning of July 22, 2015, Hassan Scott, 37, was shot and killed on South 9th Street in Newark, New Jersey while preparing to take his three young children, ages 2, 4, and 9, to daycare. Scott was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead; his children were not physically harmed.

In October 2015 the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office announced two men had been charged in the case: Zahir S. Stevenson, 21, of Newark, and Lance C. Herbert, 24, of Jersey City, accused of murder, felony murder, robbery and weapons offenses. Herbert was already in custody at the Essex County Correctional Facility with $1 million bail set for him; Stevenson's bail was set at $300,000 and he was reported as at large at that time. The motive for the shooting was not disclosed.

Did anyone in the neighborhood remember unusual activity that morning or have information about the confrontation?
