A 14-year-old boy was fatally shot in Newark Wednesday evening, making him the city's 10th homicide victim in the last 10 days.
The incident happened at the Riverview Terrace Housing Complex on Riverview Court, where the boy lived. Police identified the victim as Ali Rajohn Eric Henderson, who was gunned down in the courtyard area.
Friends and family members of the victim have been gathering and lighting candles at the scene.
No motive has been identified in the shooting, although sources have told Eyewitness News that a large amount of heroin and weapons were found inside the 14 year old victim's bedroom.
Most of the 10 murders over the last 10 days have taken place in the South Ward, and police say many are linked to drugs or gangs. This shooting took place near the east end of the city, at a troubled housing complex.

Newark’s new motto:
Chicago, Here We Come!
The hopelessness amoung the young has risen dramatically these past five years. Wonder what’s causing that? *SMIRK*
50 years of liberal policies and what do you get? A bullet to the head.
The Ruling Class is going to really be hurting when all of us serfs kill each other off as we fight for scraps of food and land. B@stards.
Corry Booker is about as good at his job as Barack O’Bumbler. He is certain to be elected senator and then POTUS. He is to be the first all Black POTUS.
gang-related.
14 years olds should be gawking after girls and popping pimples, not running drugs from their bedrooms. Bad on the parent (probable single mom or grandmother for not noticing).
“No motive has been identified in the shooting, although sources have told Eyewitness News that a large amount of heroin and weapons were found inside the 14 year old victim’s bedroom.”
Duh.
I'm sure that those drugs and weapons were planted by TEA Party operatives to denigrate another "college bound" yute, and Chris Christie will confirm that shortly.
Corry Booker is wanting to do for America what he’s done for Newark.
I certainly hope new jersey cracks down on gun ownership by 14 year olds. How did he pass a background check? (sarc/off!)
In any other country (without government-mandated racial quotas), Cory Booker would be considered a white guy.
Concur.. there should be a city wide celebration for the 100th by the libtards.
I used to live near this sewage pit
It was little wonder that
New Yorkers would look down upon
Those to the immediate South
Wow, that's exactly what my bedroom was like when I was 14......../s

They can’t identify a motive? Really?, because I think I could come up with at least two or three with no problem at all.

Aw, heck. I'll bet the gun was supplied by one of those mean terrible awful nasty scary states without any gun laws at all.
And what NJ agency issued the Heroin Holders Permit?
I see what you did there. lol
What do you mean, "not noticing"? She kept a hawk eye on it, to make sure he didn't cheat her on her cut of the trade.
Typically younger teens are used for the exposed part of the work because they can only be sent to juvie, at most; and the records are sealed or expunged at majority, giving them a clean felony slate to start with on their march toward an adult '3 strikes'.
