Milton Crespo III, 33, of Garfield, New Jersey, was shot dead in Paterson in the early morning of Saturday, June 28, 2014. He was part of a group gathered at the intersection of Union Avenue and Jasper Street when a Paterson police officer told the crowd to disperse around 2:35 a.m. The group moved to a spot in front of a house on Jasper Street, and that is where Crespo was struck by gunfire. Others with him fled the scene; Crespo’s body was found in the street when officers arrived.

Detectives collected surveillance footage, DNA, and fingerprints from the scene and announced a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
