On a Mother’s Day evening in Newark, New Jersey, 15-year-old Al-Shakeem Woodson was killed by a stray bullet while attending the annual Blessing of the Bikes community event. The shooting erupted from a dispute between two rival groups of teenagers and was not connected to the motorcycle gathering itself. Three other people were wounded in the exchange.

Al-Shakeem was a high school football player described as a promising young man and an innocent victim of senseless violence. In the days after the shooting, authorities arrested five teenagers. Nineteen-year-old Jaqeuce Spinks and a 16-year-old male were charged with murder and weapons offenses. Eighteen-year-old Marquise Cephus and a 17-year-old faced gun possession charges, and a fifth teenager was taken into custody on weapons charges.

Who in the community might have seen the confrontation or the people involved that evening and can help piece together what happened?
