The sources said the man had been shot. His death is being investigated as a homicide.

A park worker told News 4 she heard gunshots early Tuesday morning, but assumed she was hearing a fake gun used to scare away geese inside the park.

No one had been arrested in connection with the man’s death as of Tuesday afternoon, and an investigation is ongoing.

The Essex County Sheriff’s Office is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
