NEWARK -- A Newark man has been indicted on charges of fatally shooting another man on a city street last summer.

Daevon Davis, 26, was indicted on March 4 on murder and related offenses in the July 13 killing of 44-year-old Irvington resident Christopher Graham.

In addition to murder, Davis was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Davis is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on April 4 before Superior Court Judge Ronald Wigler.

Authorities have said the shooting occurred shortly before 5 p.m. in the 100 block of Isabella Avenue in Newark. Graham was transported to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 5:15 p.m., authorities said.

Davis remains in custody at the Essex County Correctional Facility in lieu of $800,000 bail.

Court records indicate Davis has a previous conviction in Essex County on theft and conspiracy charges. As part of a plea agreement, Davis pleaded guilty to those charges in 2011 and was later sentenced to four years of probation.
