In the North Ward of Newark, the afternoon of June 27, 2022, was shattered by the sound of gunfire. When Newark Police responded to reports of shots fired at approximately 2:47 p.m., they discovered a grim scene near the intersection of Broadway and Montclair Avenue. There, near an apartment building, lay 30-year-old Brandon T. Tisdol, a resident of Newark.
He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including to his head, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The broad-daylight shooting left the community shaken and searching for answers. Essex County authorities later publicly identified Tisdol as the victim of the fatal shooting. Investigators began to piece together the events that led to the tragic loss of a young man's life in the lobby of the apartment building at 805 Broadway.
Despite the ongoing investigation by law enforcement, details surrounding a motive for the shooting have not been released to the public. As of the latest available reports, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Brandon T. Tisdol. The case remains unresolved, leaving his family and the community awaiting justice as authorities continue to seek leads that could help them apprehend the person or persons responsible for his death.
