On the evening of October 7, 2014, Marquet Dorsey, a 30-year-old Black man from Newark, New Jersey, was sitting in his vehicle parked in front of 5 Thomas Avenue at about 9 p.m. Multiple gunshots rang out; emergency responders found Dorsey with several gunshot wounds and he was rushed to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Police Department led the homicide investigation. Investigators released a surveillance photograph of a suspect taken moments before the shooting and details about a suspect vehicle, and the Essex County Sheriff’s Crimestoppers Program offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone who knew Marquet, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the suspect photograph or vehicle is asked to come forward.
