Sharod Coleman-Fitzgerald, 23, of East Orange, New Jersey, was fatally shot around 2:26 a.m. on February 8, 2015 near a go-go bar on Passaic Street in Newark. A Black male, he and another wounded person were taken to University Hospital in a private vehicle; Coleman-Fitzgerald was pronounced dead there.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force and the Newark Police Department led the investigation. Authorities identified a suspect as Juan Porter, also known as Yum Yum, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The Essex County Sheriff’s Crime Stoppers offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

In November 2015 Porter was stopped in Maine during a traffic stop, initially gave false information, and was later confirmed by New Jersey authorities. Did anyone in the Newark or East Orange area know Sharod or see anything on Passaic Street that night?
