Dante Young was 13 when he was shot and killed in Newark, New Jersey, late one Sunday night in June 2011. The shooting occurred in the 300 block of South Orange Avenue; Dante suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to University Hospital, and was pronounced dead at 11:40 p.m. Family remembered him as a typical teenager who enjoyed playing video games.

Investigators concluded Dante was the intended target and linked the attack to a prior argument. Within days a suspect was identified and arrested: 24-year-old John Brinson of Newark was charged with murder and weapons offenses. Authorities said the dispute involved Brinson’s girlfriend; Brinson was found in a basement on Renner Avenue and held on $750,000 bail.

Did anyone in the area remember Dante, the argument, or anything about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
