A 26-year-old man was shot and killed Tuesday morning in the heart of downtown Newark in what police called a targeted, drug-related incident.

Terrence J. Wilson was gunned down around 9:44 a.m. near the corner of Broad and Market streets, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said.

He was brought to University Hospital in the city and pronounced dead at 11:04 a.m.

No arrests have been made.

“We had multiple officers in the area, as we always do, and they responded immediately,” Newark public safety director Anthony Ambrose said in a brief statement.

Broad and Market streets are two of the city’s busiest and most prominent commercial thoroughfares, with the intersection less than two blocks from the Prudential Center.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Newark police’s crime stopper tip line at 1-877-695-8477 or 1-877-695-4867. Tips could result in a reward.
