Authorites have now arrested a man in connection with the shooting death of a nine year old Newark boy.
The Essex County prosecutor's office say 36-year-old Jesse Dunbar the Seond faces first degree murder and slew of other charges. The boy, Yasin Morrison was hit by bullet while getting out the car with his family right outside his grandmas home last Friday on Osborne Terrace. Prosecutor Theodore Stephens says
" The killing of any persons is a tragic occurrence, but it is particularly heinous when an innocent 9-year-old child loses their life to all too common senseless violence.”
There's a GoFundMe page set up for the boy's family.
