On November 3, 2016, a daylight shooting on the front porch of a two-family home on Cleveland Avenue in Orange, New Jersey, left one-year-old Marcus Milien dead. Marcus was on the porch with family when a gunman approached and opened fire; the toddler and his 21-year-old uncle Morlens Milice were killed as others tried to flee inside. Two additional people were wounded, identified in reports as the child’s father and a 15-year-old boy.
Authorities later identified and arrested 28-year-old Stevenson Valentin of Maplewood during a traffic stop in Newark. He was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault and weapons offenses, held on $1 million bail and remanded to the Essex County Correctional Facility. No motive has been made public.
If anyone knew Marcus, Morlens, or was in that neighborhood that afternoon, please share information that could help explain what happened.
