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:
