From NJ.com:

JERSEY CITY -- Officials have identified the man fatally shot on Woodlawn Avenue in Jersey City last night as a 30-year-old Maplewood resident.

Police responded to Woodlawn between Ocean and Garfield avenues at about 10:20 p.m. and found Kyell C. Jeter with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

Jeter, who was unresponsive, was taken to Jersey City Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at about 10:45 p.m., HCPO spokesman Raymond Worrall said.
No arrests have yet been made.

"There was like six gunshots and I saw the boy lying in the street," said a resident whose front porch is about 40 feet from where Jeter was found. "I hollered, 'Oh my God, he's shot!' He wasn't moving. It looked like he was shot in the head."

The woman, who chose not to give her name this morning, said she has lived in her home 32 years and described the block as quiet. As she spoke, another resident walked by and said, "I'm moving. I got to get out of here."

The woman replied, "Honey, you can't run away from this, it's everywhere."
