"Violence continued to plague Newark today as three more people were struck by gunfire in two separate incidents, leaving one dead and two wounded.

The shootings continued a bloody stretch that killed four — two of them high school students — and wounded six others since Thursday.

An unidentified man was shot at Osborne Terrace and Shephard Avenue around 9 p.m. tonight, said Katherine Carter, spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. The victim was taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The attack came roughly ten hours after two other people — a man and woman whose names have not yet been released — were both shot at Clinton Place and Aldine Street, according to police, also in the South Ward."
