Detectives from the Essex County Prosecutor's Office combed the area searching for evidence and attempted to find a motive for the shooting.
Residents in the area would only say that the fatally wounded victim was a young man (possibly a teen) that they have seen in the area several time before.
Over one hundred family and friends flooded the University Hospital's Emergency room attempting to get any additional information on the shooting victims had Rutgers police step up patrol for the unexpected large crowd.
All of the shootings are under investigation.
