Newark Police are continuing their search for a gunman accused of opening fire on an occupied vehicle in the North Ward near the local post office.
The incident occurred just before 3:25 p.m. at the intersection of Broadway and 3rd Avenue, where officers, responding to a ShotSpotter alert indicating multiple shots fired, arrived promptly at the scene.
Upon arrival, officers were approached by an individual who claimed that shots were fired at his vehicle while he was inside.
Police confirmed the vehicle had been hit by gunfire, though fortunately, no physical injuries were reported.
Despite locating evidence near the post office and extensive canvassing of the area, the suspect remains at large.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and urging anyone with information to come forward.
