Shootings of young people are becoming alarming common in the streets of New Jersey.
Last night I told you about the effort being made by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office and Newark Police in apprehending the killer or killers of Cheyanne Bond, who was walking with a boy in Newark last Sunday when she was shot.

This past Saturday, another shooting happened – this time in Paterson, and this time the victim was a 12 year old girl who was left brain dead after being shot in the head.

The 12 year old girl, Genesis Rincon, was riding a scooter with 2 friends on her way to a relative’s house when she was shot on Rosa Parks Blvd.

Right now family is planning her funeral and making arrangements to donate her organs.

No parent should have to go through the horror of what these parents are dealing with, and that's why they, along with police and investigators from the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office need your help.

The department is offering a $2,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest in the shooting. Anyone with information can call (973) 321-1120, (973) 321-1342 or (973) 523-TIPS and remain anonymous.
