Kadeem Johnson, 28, of Newark, was arrested by members of the Fugitive Apprehension Team in connection with a shooting that occurred on May 17 2017. The shooting resulted in a 27-year-old male being shot and treated at University Hospital. Information obtained by police led to the warrant and subsequent arrest of Johnson.
