Tawan Edwards, a 24-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Newark, New Jersey, on the evening of November 24, 2014, in the area of 193-197 Chancellor Avenue. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later. The shooting was one of two fatal shootings in Newark that night and prompted an investigation by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

The investigation produced evidence from the scene that helped identify potential suspects, and several people were arrested in connection with the case. Authorities say some of those arrested had prior criminal histories and suspected gang affiliations. Investigators believe the motive was related to conflicts between rival groups. Prosecutors faced challenges during the long legal process, including witness intimidation and reluctance by some community members to come forward. The case also spurred local vigils and community discussion about gun violence and prevention efforts.

Does anyone have information about Edwards, the area around Chancellor Avenue, or what they observed that night?
