New Jersey authorities have released a video clip capturing the moments leading up to a fatal shooting in a Newark club last month during a performance by the Jamaican reggae star Mavado (real name David Brooks). The Essex Couunty Prosecutor’s office is seeking eyewitness assistance in capturing the gunman, who has yet to be identified.
The minute-and-a-half clip shows Mavado on stage at the Palladium, interacting with the crowd, many of whom were filming the show with their phones. Suddenly two gunshots ring out and the image is distorted as the cameraman drops for cover. The video does not show the actual shooting but people are screaming in the background and it sounds like pure chaos.
Two persons were shot in the May 12 incident which was precipitated by an altercation. They were a security guard who was shot in the arm and Andre Henry, 35, of Irvington who died at the University Hospital in Newark.
Mavado was interviewed by the prosecutor’s office and is not considered a suspect. According to a local news source, many persons at the show left before police could interview them.
