Newark authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man wanted in connection with a shooting that occurred earlier this month.
According to a statement released by Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda Sr., the incident happened on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at approximately 8:19 p.m., when the city’s ShotSpotter system detected gunfire in the 400 block of South 10th Street.
Responding officers quickly arrived at the scene and conducted a canvass of the area.
During their investigation, police located seven shell casings in the rear of a nearby parking lot.
No additional details about injuries or victims were immediately released.
Authorities have since obtained an image of a male believed to be connected to the incident and are now seeking the public’s help in identifying him.
Director Miranda is urging anyone with information about the individual’s identity to contact the Newark Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS
