Police have offered a reward for information leading to the killer of a Bergen County 18-year-old who was shot to death last week while riding in a vehicle in Newark.
McKayla Perri, of Lyndhurst, was shot about 10:25 p.m. Friday on Broad Street near the intersection of Third Avenue, according to acting Essex County Prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens, II.
Perri was taken to University Hospital in Newark, where she died shortly before 2 a.m. on Saturday, the prosecutor said.
Investigators said Perri was in the passenger seat of a white Jeep Wrangler when “a bullet struck the vehicle, ultimately causing her death.”
