Naim Riker was 34 when he was found shot and unresponsive near 180 South 11th Street in Newark on the night of August 3, 2014. He was taken to University Hospital and pronounced dead after the shooting at about 10:22 p.m.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and the Newark Police Department later sought the public’s help. In January 2015 they released a photograph of a man in a gray hooded sweatshirt identified as a person of interest and the Essex County Sheriff’s Crime Stoppers program offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Who knew Naim or saw anything in the South 11th Street area that night?
