A city man has been indicted in connection with the shooting death of 23-year-old Naquan Ellis.
Grady A. Blue III
Grady A. Blue III, 22, was indicted last week on charges of murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and related weapons offenses in connection with a June 2014 shooting that killed Ellis and injured a woman.
The shooting took place in the parking lot of the North 25 Housing complex. Ellis suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The female victim sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to her leg and hand.
The day following the shooting, members of the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Blue and charged him in connection with the shooting.
Blue is currently incarcerated at the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility serving time for charges unrelated to Ellis’s murder. Blue’s bail remains at $1 million for the homicide.
