Qua-Shawn Chaney, 32, was fatally shot on the evening of July 16, 2015, on Clinton Place in Newark, New Jersey. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and Newark Police investigated the homicide and, within weeks, arrested three people from Newark in connection with the killing.

Jessie McNeil, 22, was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and two weapons offenses. Two 17-year-old juveniles were also taken into custody; one faced murder, conspiracy, aggravated assault and weapons possession charges, while the other was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Authorities identified one of the teens as Nariq Peeks and reported that Chaney was the boyfriend of Peeks’s mother. Investigators alleged Peeks and McNeil conspired to kill Chaney, that Peeks pulled the trigger and that McNeil provided the gun. A woman who was with Peeks at the time was grazed by a bullet, prompting the aggravated assault charge against him.

Does anyone have information about Chaney, his movements that night, or witnesses on Clinton Place on July 16, 2015?
