In the early hours of a Saturday morning, the quiet of an Irvington, New Jersey, street was shattered by the sound of gunfire. On October 16, 2021, just after midnight, police responded to a report of a shooting on Arverne Terrace. There, they discovered 24-year-old Alexander Saye, a male resident of Irvington, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:56 a.m.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force, in conjunction with the Irvington Police Department, immediately launched an investigation into the fatal shooting. Preliminary findings indicated that Saye was found at 22 Arverne Terrace. The gunman, or gunmen, had fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Despite the ongoing and active investigation, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Alexander Saye. Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward and contact the Essex County Prosecutor's Office tips line, assuring that all calls will be kept confidential. The case remains unsolved, and the perpetrators at large.
