Sujeidi Ocasio and another teen were shot at a graduation party outside 196 Lincoln Avenue just after 12:15 a.m. Ocasio was rushed to University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Authorities say the single bullet, allegedly fired by 18-year-old Nicole Guyette, went through Ocasio's neck and struck 15-year-old Jasmine Perez. Perez was treated and released from University Hospital in Newark, officials say. "She got shot for no reason," Perez said. "So the bullet went through her and hit me."

Jasmine was struck in the collarbone by the bullet. It all started when, in the midst of the party, an argument broke out between the two teenagers. "I was trying to tell them to stop arguing, but the girl just shot her out of nowhere," Perez said. "They was just [arguing] over nothing. Name calling, over nothing. She got shot for no reason." Perez said. "So the bullet went through her and hit me."
