On the evening of April 11, 2015, 36-year-old Michael Settles was shot and killed in front of his grandmother’s home on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City. He was pronounced dead after the attack, which occurred in a residential area and left family and neighbors stunned by the sudden violence.

An obituary and messages of condolence described the loss as a senseless tragedy. Details about the shooting were scarce in the immediate aftermath, and the case later went cold. Some online commentators have speculated the shooting may have resulted from a road rage incident, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone who was in the Bergen Avenue area on April 11, 2015, or who has information about Michael Settles’ killing is asked to come forward.
