John Carlos Betances, 24, of Newark, New Jersey, was shot on the night of May 26, 2015. At about 10:36 p.m. gunfire was reported on the 700 block of South 18th Street; Betances was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 11 p.m.

In the weeks after the killing two men were arrested and charged in connection with Betances’s murder. On July 7, 2015, Raheem Glaspie, 23, of Irvington, and Shaquan Leaks, 22, of Hillside, were taken into custody as part of a larger operation that produced charges against 48 people alleged to be connected to a drug ring tied to members of the 793 Bloods. Both defendants pleaded not guilty at arraignment and each had bail set at $1 million; surveillance footage was reported to have captured the shooting and the case was sent to a grand jury.

Are there readers who remember that night on South 18th Street or who have information about Betances’s killing?
