An adult and a child were killed and 3 others were injured in a shooting in Newark

A 10-year-old boy and a 21-year-old woman were killed and three others were injured in a shooting in Newark on Saturday, the Essex County District Attorney's Office said.

It happened around 7 p.m. in the 300 block of Chancellor Street.

The two victims were declared dead at the University Hospital. Their identities were not revealed.

The other three victims – an 11-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and a 60-year-old man – are in stable condition.

The authorities did not provide information about the reasons that led to the shooting.

“I have been made aware of the shooting that occurred earlier tonight in Newark's South Side where preliminary details indicate multiple victims were shot, including a child. Please pray for the victims and their families.”

In a statement today, the mayor of Ras Baraka described it as dark and destructive to the city.

“We will not rest until justice is served for the parents and families left behind in unspeakable pain and grief. Newark will work tirelessly with the District Attorney's Office, state law enforcement, and federal agencies to ensure justice is served. We urge the killer to turn himself in, as there is no safe place to hide. There is no explanation on earth that can come close to justifying this shooting. This comes in the midst of a historic decline in violence in the city, and is a living reminder that there is still much work to do,” he said in a statement. We do it. No one is exempt from doing their part to help and heal each other. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and all those affected by this trauma.”

Essex County Sheriff Amir Jones has announced a reward of up to $10,000 being offered through the Essex County Crime Stoppers program for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to call 1-877-847-7432.

All calls will remain confidential.
