Police get leads on Schley St shootings
April 26, 2007 in Uncategorized by Ken Walker
The Ledger reports that police are making progress on solving the Schley St shootings from earlier in the week: “Cops link two fatal shootings in Newark”:http://www.nj.com/starledger/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-3/117756262898850.xml&coll=1.
So far, police have one alleged killer in custody: a 16-year-old boy who turned himself in to homicide detectives yesterday. He was charged with shooting a man twice his age after the Monday brawl grew into a melee involving several men.
The boy, whose name was provided by police but is being withheld by the Star-Ledger, was brutally beaten in the fight. Police are investigating whether he was pum meled by the man who he is accused of fatally shooting, a 32-year-old ex-con named Jimmie Mitchell who hung out in the neighborhood.
Here are the two incidents:
