Omar Gordo Marroquin was 25 when he was killed in New Brunswick on the morning of July 29, 2021. Police found him at Comstock Street and Joyce Kilmer Avenue suffering from multiple gunshot and stab wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead. The attack was not described as random — investigators said Marroquin knew his assailants.

Two 17-year-old New Brunswick residents were located and arrested in Irvington and charged with delinquency offenses that, if brought against adults, would be equivalent to murder and weapons charges. After a preliminary hearing both juveniles were detained. The motive for the fatal encounter has not been disclosed.

Does anyone have information about Omar, where he spent time in New Brunswick, or what led to that July 29 encounter?
