"We watched him from when he was a baby. He ain't never hurt nobody, never hurt anybody," a family friend said.
"Everybody knew him. He wasn't about any trouble or anything, but you here, this, you can't help but come together," said Kunsean Savage, the victim's friend.
Thursday night, a crime scene unit sat on a Newark street near the Irvington border, not far away from another deadly shooting at a strip club.
