In the city of Newark, New Jersey, a man's life was cut short in a burst of violence that remains unresolved. Artemio Arce, a 33-year-old man, was fatally shot on Saturday, October 28, 2017. Known affectionately as 'Chino,' he was a Newark native, born and raised in the city where he would ultimately meet his untimely end.
The incident that claimed Arce's life was one of three separate and unrelated fatal shootings that cast a dark shadow over that late October weekend in Newark.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force, in conjunction with Newark Police detectives, initiated an investigation into the shooting. However, despite their efforts, no arrests have been announced in connection with the death of Artemio Arce.
The investigation into who is responsible for the death of Artemio Arce remains open and active. Law enforcement authorities have not publicly identified any suspect or suspects in the years that have passed since the shooting. The case stands as an open wound for his family and the community, a story without a final chapter as they continue to await answers and justice for his death.
