On the night of September 3, 2014, 23-year-old Rhasan Heath was ambushed on Grove Street in Irvington, New Jersey, after leaving his sister’s home with a woman who was the mother of his child. Earlier that day, 24-year-old Marquis Armstrong of Newark had repeatedly contacted his ex-girlfriend, upset that she and their daughter were spending time with Heath. Just before midnight, Armstrong lay in wait and opened fire as Heath and the woman approached a car.

Heath ran into the street and was struck by a vehicle. Armstrong then shot Heath five times, hitting him three times; the final, fatal wound was to the base of his skull. Heath was pronounced dead on September 4, 2014. Witnesses included Heath’s new girlfriend and her one-year-old child.

Armstrong was arrested and, during his trial, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and unlawful possession of a .45-caliber handgun. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison with a requirement to serve 85 percent of the term before parole eligibility.

If anyone knew Rhasan, his movements that night, or saw what happened on Grove Street, can you share information that might add detail to the timeline?
