A suspect was arrested in connection with a shooting that killed a 9-year-old boy in Newark, law enforcement announced.
The alleged shooter was identified as Jesse Dunbar II, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday morning. The 36-year-old was arrested and faces murder, attempted murder and weapons possession charges.
The arrest came five days after young Yasin Morrison was struck by a stray bullet as he approached his grandmother’s house on Osborne Terrace around 5:30 p.m.
