Police taped off streets in Newark's Central and West wards while investigators looked into the circumstances behind overnight shots fired in those neighborhoods.
Residents in the area of Dassing Avenue and Whitney Street dialed 911 after they heard several rounds of gunfire near the intersection just before 11 p.m.
Police arrived and found an unoccupied white vehicle -possibly stolen- with both doors open at that location.
Authorities believe occupants inside the vehicle bailed from the car after being shot at by an armed suspect.
After officers searched the area, no victims were located.
Police believe that the same suspects are wanted for a shooting in the 80's block of Court Street a short time earlier.
In the incident, an armed suspect exited a grey vehicle and began firing at unknown targets before fleeing the scene.
Police say bullets struck an unoccupied car at that location.
The investigation remains active.
