Newark police want to question Yolanda Brooks in connection with an aggravated assault incident that occurred on Thursday, March 9, according to Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé.
At 4:37 p.m., a transportation van driver was cut off by a driver in a black Nissan near Plymouth Street and South Munn Avenue, Fragé said.
The driver of the Nissan exited along with a passenger with whom the transportation driver had a verbal altercation earlier, Fragé said.
The driver of the Nissan allegedly brandished a handgun, pointing it at the victim’s head, before returning to his vehicle along with the transportation van’s earlier passenger. The suspect was wearing a gray jacket and black jeans.
Fragé urges anyone with information about the whereabouts of Yolanda Brooks to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477). All anonymous Crime Stopper tips are kept confidential and could result in a reward.
