According to officials, the incident resulted in seven individuals being shot. One victim has lost his life, and two are in critical condition.
Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker stated, “This is a terrible act of violence. We do not believe this was a random act of violence.” He further disclosed that the shots were fired from a vehicle, noting, “They were having some type of a social gathering.
