Riley's brother, Jaylen, was shot three times the night before at the Union Garden Apartments on Greenwood Avenue. Devon Marshall, 20, whose last known address is in Montclair, is wanted in connection with that shooting, police said.
Det. Lt. Angel L. Roman Jr. said he would not "go out on a limb" and assume the Mission Street shooting was in response to the incident the night before, according to NorthJersey.com.
