"Relative Suspected in Shocking Shooting Death of New Jersey Imam Outside Mosque"

Investigators are looking into a possible link to a family member in the shooting death of Newark imam Hassan Sharif, who was gunned down outside his mosque. The incident, which occurred last week, has not been deemed bias-motivated or an act of domestic terrorism. Sharif, known for protesting against gun violence, had previously survived a gun-related incident. Authorities are offering a $25,000 reward for information, and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has assured the Muslim community of safety measures.
