-- A shooting Saturday evening left three people wounded in a burst of gunfire that came shortly after Newark concluded a 24-hour event designed to promote non-violence in the city.

One person was in serious condition and two others were listed in stable condition after the shooting near Chancellor and Maple avenues, according to Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose. The victims were all identified as males.

Investigators have not determined a motive in the shooting or identified any suspects, Ambrose said shortly after the shooting occurred around 6:20 p.m.

The triple shooting came less than 24 hours after two other shootings left two dead as the city held its "24 Hours of Peace" festival downtown late Friday. For the second consecutive year, violence marred the event held from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Saturday.

A shooting on Schuyler Avenue at 10:45 p.m. Friday claimed the life of Kevin Baker, 19, of Newark, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.

Shortly before midnight, police also rushed to reports of gunfire on the 100 block of Willoughby Street, where they found a man and woman wounded, the prosecutor's office said in a statement. The man, identified as Robert Harrison Jr., 24, of Irvington, died at the scene. The woman was reported in critical condition as of late Saturday morning.

The two slayings appeared to be unrelated, according to Chief Assistant Essex County Prosecutor Thomas Fennelly, of the Homicide Unit.

Last year, two men were shot to death during the "24 Hours of Peace" event. The effort started five years ago and was initially held in the city's South Ward to curb violence in the area. Organizers moved the outdoor celebration to downtown Newark.
