Joey Reyes was 32 when he was fatally shot during an argument on the morning of July 19, 2014, in Newark’s North Ward. The shooting followed a violent altercation that left his family and neighborhood reeling.

Police arrested a Newark man less than a week later and charged him with murder and weapons offenses. The prosecution took the case to trial, but the first jury hung. A second trial also ended in a mistrial, and a third trial produced another hung jury. After those three attempts, the charges were dismissed and no conviction was reached.

The criminal process did not produce a final legal resolution for Reyes or his family. Does anyone have information about Joey, the July 19 incident, or the neighborhood that could help clarify what happened?
