Corey Beasley, 43, of Newark, did not survive the night. The other three people injured in the gun violence were said to be in critical condition as of late Saturday.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 7:30 p.m. near Chancellor Avenue and Leslie Street. That's where police found the four wounded people. Several city blocks were closed down most of the night as officials from the police department and Essex County Prosecutor's Office, which is leading the investigation, worked the scene.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
