Man, 25, dies days after July 1 shooting
NEWARK -- Authorities on Friday identified two people who were killed by unrelated, near-simultaneous shootings in Newark and announced another man had died days after he was shot in the city.
Myriam Martinez, 52, of Newark, was shot around 11:41 p.m. Thursday on Clinton Place, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray and city Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said in a statement. Martinez was rushed to University Hospital, where she died shortly after 12:30 a.m.
Approximately one minute later, 24-year-old Dondre Williams was shot in the 200 block of Keer Avenue, according to the prosecutor's office. Williams, of Hillside, died at University Hospital at 4:30 a.m.

In another unrelated case, law enforcement officials said 25-year-old Anthony S. Gettis, of Newark, died at an area hospital early Thursday from injuries he suffered when he was shot multiple times July 1 on North 7th Street.
"All three homicides are actively being investigated. At this time, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified," the prosecutor's office statement said.
Police were also investigating two shootings that occurred Friday in the city.
One person was in critical condition after a shooting near Parkview Terrace and Goldsmith Avenue, according to Ambrose. Police responded to another non-fatal shooting on South 12th Avenue, but limited information was available on that incident.
