NEWARK, NJ – Newark police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying several individuals connected to a late-morning shooting on Grafton Avenue near Broadway last month, authorities announced Thursday.
Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr., said officers responded around 11:45 a.m. on January 28 to reports of gunfire in the area.
