Gun Violence Claims More Victims

Condolences to all the family and friends of shooting victims. This month three fatal shootings took place, including one of an innocent bystander.

The Union County Prosecutor's Office is asking the public for any information that might aid the investigations.

Here is the most recent press release, on the Wednesday evening shooting:

Plainfield homicide under investigation

A homicide that took place in Plainfield Wednesday evening is under investigation, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Thursday.

The victim has been identified as 37-year- old Willie Lee Major of Plainfield.

Plainfield Police Division patrol units responding to a report of gunshots being fired rushed to the 400 block of West 4 th Street shortly after 6:45 p.m. Wednesday and found Major, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

It appears at this time that Major was not the intended target of the shooting.

This matter remains under active joint investigation by the Union County Homicide Task Force, the Plainfield Police Division, the Union County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit, and the Union County Police Department Ballistics Unit.

Anyone with information about Major’s death is being urged to contact Homicide Task Force Sgt. Johnny Ho at 908-403-8271 or Detective Danika Ramos at 908-451- 7739.

The Union County Crime Stoppers also are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case; tips can be given anonymously by phone at 908-654- TIPS (8477), via text message by texting “UCTIP” plus a message to 274637 (CRIMES), or online at www.uctip.org.

      You need to go sit down in one corner and shut up. People like you make me regret ever moving into this town. I can't believe Carl Riley have in to pressure from people like you. Carl and the rest of the plainfield PD do your job and don't give up to pressure from this fools.There was a shooting earlier in the day at the liberty village vicinity earlier, I expect the police department to beef up patrol in that area because you didn't an innocent life is taken. Sad

      Mr. X, if you read the charter of the Human Relations Commission, you'd know that they don't do investigations of homicides.

      First of all, As salaam alaikum brother,Now its not about the commission investigating murders. But what about looking into the social,economic,and political paradigm that's in place in Plainfield. And how the commission can be proactive and attempt to assist in the stopping of these senseless killings. Mr. X
