Rubin said on March 13, 2021, at about 7:46 in the evening, Newark Police were called to a residence on Prospect Avenue for a report of a man with a gun. Arriving officers contacted the reporting person who advised that they were at the residence when a male subject pulled out a handgun and pointed it at people present at the residence.
The man also made statements indicating that harm would come to anyone who came to the residence, according to Rubin. At the same time, the male was also pointing the firearm at people walking by the residence, added Rubin. The male was known to the residents and was at the residence with permission.
