On November 22, 2014, multiple gunshots were reported in the pre-dawn hours on the 600 block of Chancellor Avenue in Irvington, New Jersey. Police arriving about 5:45 a.m. found two 20-year-old men who had been shot. Shaquille Kirkland, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene; the other victim, Dashawn James, was taken to University Hospital in Newark and died shortly after arrival.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force, with detectives from the Irvington Police Department, identified two Irvington residents, 28-year-old Altariq Thomas and 24-year-old Aljumar Derrick, as suspects. On the morning of January 9, 2015, Irvington police arrested both men. They were charged with two counts of murder and multiple weapons offenses and held at the Essex County Correctional Facility with bail set at $1 million each.

If anyone knew Shaquille Kirkland or saw activity on Chancellor Avenue that morning, can you share information with investigators?
