The Union County Homicide Task Force and Linden Police Department continue to investigate the shooting death of an 18-year-old Linden woman who was killed ten years ago, Union County Prosecutor William A. Daniel and Linden Police Chief David Hart jointly announced today.

At 11:55 p.m. on July 9, 2012 the Linden Police were called to the 500 block of Hussa Street following reports of an argument and gunfire, said Daniel. When they arrived, officers discovered 18 –year-old Amber Duncan-Wilson dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound.

Members of the Task Force and Linden Police Department learned that Ms. Wilson was walking from a local Dunkin’ Donuts with a friend when she was approached and robbed. During the robbery, words were exchanged and the young woman, who had graduated Linden High School just days earlier, was shot.

Ms. Wilson was a young, ambitious woman, who had a meaningful life ahead of her,” Prosecutor Daniel said. “Sadly, that life was senselessly lost at such a young age and we remain as firmly committed today as we did ten years ago in finding this cold-blooded killer and to bringing justice for her and her loved ones.”

Investigators continue to seek leads and ask for the public’s help in obtaining any information that could assist in solving this tragic case. Members of the public are urged to contact the Union County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force at 908-527-4500 or Linden Police Detective Sergeant Travis
