Charles Anthony McKinney Jr., 37, was shot and killed while sitting in his SUV in the 200 block of 21st Street in Irvington, New Jersey, on the afternoon of February 24, 2014. The shooting happened about 12:40 p.m.; he was taken to University Hospital in Newark and pronounced dead less than an hour later. McKinney, a Black or African American man from Newark, worked two jobs to support his family and his second son was born three months after the murder.

Authorities at the time described him as believed to have been a victim of mistaken identity. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office urged anyone with information to come forward, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported and the case later grew cold. McKinney’s family continues to seek justice and closure.

If anyone knew Charles, saw him on February 24, 2014, or has information about the shooting, please come forward with tips.
