Calvin Austin, 36, was shot and killed in Newark, New Jersey in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2015. Police found him about 4:30 a.m. roughly a half-mile from the city’s central business district; he was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later. The death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators later linked Austin’s killing to a larger violent drug trafficking organization tied to the Sex, Money, Murder set of the Bloods, a group alleged to have been distributing fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine in Newark. Several people were arrested in the broader probe and charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics; names connected to those charges include Calvin Swinton, Lance Yarbough, Jahad Gorsuch, Coyette Elliott, Derrick Davidson, Rashem Batts, Kiion Scovil, Tishawn Scovil, and Amanda Brown.

What details from that night or about the organization might help explain how Austin became a target?
