A mass shooting in Newark’s Roseville section late Monday night left one young man dead and four others injured, according to officials with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

The incident occurred around 11:40 p.m. on June 23 at 367 6th Avenue West, near 13th Street, after Newark police responded to reports of gunfire and a large, disorderly crowd in the area.

Upon arrival, officers discovered five individuals suffering from gunshot wounds in what authorities described as a chaotic and violent scene.

One of the victims, 18-year-old Brandyn Waters of Paterson, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest.

He was immediately transported to University Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The four additional victims—two 19-year-old men, a 24-year-old, and a 26-year-old—were also taken to University Hospital for treatment.

Officials stated that some of the victims were in serious condition, though their current statuses have not been released.

Witnesses at the scene reported hearing numerous rounds of gunfire, describing the moment as terrifying and sudden.

Several vehicles parked nearby were left riddled with bullet holes, indicating the intensity of the shooting and raising concerns about public safety in the area.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force is leading the investigation, which remains active.

As of Tuesday morning, no arrests have been made, and a motive has not yet been determined.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward as they work to identify those responsible for the deadly violence.

Further updates will be provided as the investigation develops.
