18-Year-Old Boy Shot to Death Near NJ High School: Officials

A teenage boy was shot to death in broad daylight just steps away from a New Jersey high school, prosecutors say. 

Police officers responding to a report of a shooting found Marquise Jenkins, 18, suffering from gunshot wounds on Clinton Avenue, near Irvington High School in Irvington, just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, Essex County prosecutors said. 

Jenkins, who lived in Irvington, was taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead, according to prosecutors. 

No one had been arrested in connection with the shooting as of Wednesday evening. 

Prosecutors didn't immediately provide additional details about the shooting, and it wasn't immediately clear whether Jenkins was a student at the school. 

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Prosecutor's Tips Line at 877-847-7432.
