Man shot and killed in the Ironbound
Just when we thought it was safe again:
A botched robbery early this morning left a 25-year-old man dead in Newark’s Ironbound section, authorities said.
The victim, Delvisson F. Campos, 25, of Newark, was shot once in the chest and once in the chin at about 3:20 a.m., near 270 Ferry St., authorities said. A man he was walking with escaped unharmed, said Essex County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Paul Loriquet.
“Two individuals were walking down the street when they were approached by two perpetrators,” Loriquet said. “Detectives believe it was a robbery attempt.”
Campos was transported to University Hospital in Newark where he was pronounced dead at 3:52 a.m. said Newark Police Detective Todd McClendon.
No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing, Loriquet said.
Authorities have asked that anyone with any information about the shooting, please call Lt. Lou Carrega with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Homicide Squad at 973-621-4586.
