Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose is seeking the public’s assistance in bringing the suspects responsible for the death of Ms. Shuri Henry on South 20th Street last night to justice.
Director Ambrose stated, “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the victim’s family. To lose a family on any day is a traumatic experience with the loss particularly disturbing on a holiday when families get together to celebrate and enjoy one another’s company.”
“We will work tirelessly with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Homicide Task Force and leave no stone unturned as we pursue the cowards responsible for this heinous crime. These cowards should have been at home with their families instead of out on the streets committing crimes".
This investigation is active and ongoing. Ambrose is urging anyone with information about this incident to please contact the Essex County Homicide Task Force at 1 (877) TIPS-4EC or 1(877) 847-7432.
