The gunman - who was fatally shot by police - was also identified by investigators.
The boy was identified in reports and by those who attended a vigil in his honor as Zahmire Lopez, and the other man fatally shot was identified Friday by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office as Wyleek Shaw, 27, of Newark. The office only identified the child by the initials Z.L.
Despite identifying the victims and gunman, few details about the shooting have been shared by either the prosecutor’s office or the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, which is also investigating the case because the police fatally shot Rand. A short time after Newark police were called to the apartment, officers found Rand running away, according to the attorney general’s office.
