ELIZABETH, NJ — Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of the shooting that left two Union County women dead in an Elizabeth park on Halloween night. Investigators are re-releasing video and photos in an effort to get the public's help to try and solve this crime.

The video surveillance footage (shown below) and still imagery shows a vehicle wanted in connection with the deaths of Rah-Zhane Lee, 22, of East 4th Avenue in Roselle and Shaniquah Richardson, 24, of Franklin Street in Elizabeth, acting Union County Prosecutor Michael A.

Elizabeth Police responded shortly after midnight on Nov. 1, 2017 to a report of shots fired in the area of 2nd and Court streets in the city's Elizabethport section where they found Lee and Richardson with gunshot injuries.

The two victims were transported to Trinitas Regional Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead a short time later, Isenhour said.

Captured on a surveillance video near the scene is a dark-colored sedan traveling at a high rate of speed, according to the report.

"Investigators are asking residents of the area, or anyone who may have been in the area at the time, to think back to that night and recall whether they may have seen the vehicle – or anything else otherwise suspicious," Monahan said.

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

Anyone with information about the shooting is being urged to contact Homicide Task Force Sgt. Johnny Ho at 908-403-8271 or Detective William Guy at 908-527-4648.

The Union County Crime Stoppers also are continuing to offer 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) or online at www.uctip.org.
