Alexander Toledo was 27 when he was shot and killed on May 4, 2014, in Newark, New Jersey. The shooting occurred around 1 p.m. in the 200 block of North 7th Street, a residential area near Branch Brook Park where he lived. Toledo, a Black/African American man and a father of four, was approached by an unidentified male and shot multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 1:25 p.m.

Authorities from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office say the attack did not appear random and that Toledo was the intended target. Despite the daylight shooting, investigators have faced major obstacles, notably a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced and the case has gone cold, leaving Toledo’s family without answers.

If anyone saw or heard anything around North 7th Street that afternoon, please come forward with information that could help the investigation.
