A Christmas night on Schley Street in Newark turned deadly when gunfire struck three teenagers. Abdul Scooter Frazier, 14, was on the porch of his home with his friend Kasson Morman, 15, when shots rang out; 13-year-old Zainee Hailey, who was taking out the trash nearby, was also hit. Kasson and Zainee died shortly after the attack. Abdul survived long enough to be treated at University Hospital but died in the early morning hours three weeks later from a critical neck wound, becoming the third victim.

Investigators reported a motive linked to a 15-year-old suspect who felt disrespected after one of the male victims had apparently hit on his girlfriend. The suspect, whose name is withheld because he is a minor, was arrested and initially charged with murder and attempted murder; charges were later adjusted after Abdul’s death.

Does anyone who lived on or near Schley Street that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
