In the spring of 2015 Richard Zarriello, 51, was found gravely wounded inside his South Hackensack business, Clean Sweep Chimney Depot on Route 46, after family members asked police to check on him on Sunday, April 12. He had been shot multiple times, was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, and died the following day. Investigators later reported he had been shot six times in the head, a detail that led authorities to treat the case as a targeted killing rather than a random act.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office led the homicide probe with assistance from South Hackensack police and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification. Detectives searched the business and conducted follow-up inquiries reaching into Jersey City and Monmouth County. Zarriello’s family publicized a $25,000 reward, hired a private investigator, and noted a prior family dispute and a large life insurance policy, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case has grown cold.

Does anyone have information about Zarriello’s movements or contacts in the days before April 12, 2015?
