NEWARK -- Authorities on Thursday offered a $20,000 reward for information about the slaying of a Newark Liberty International Airport baggage handler who was gunned down in an apparent robbery on his way home from work.
Bruce Santos, 26, was shot in downtown Newark late Feb. 27, 2013 as he waited at a bus stop at Broad and Camp streets, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. He was rushed to University Hospital after being discovered by a passerby, who flagged down a police officer.
Santos died about 30 minutes later at the hospital, authorities said. Detectives suspect he was the victim of a robbery.
The prosecutor's office released a sketch of a suspect shortly after the killing. Authorities described the suspect as a man in his 20s with dreadlocks.
Santos, of Newark, may have tried to fight off his attacker and was possibly knocked down by his killer before the shooting, according to police documents obtained by The Star-Ledger.
Sheriff Armando Fontoura's Crime Stoppers Program offered the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
Anyone with information was urged to call the prosecutor's office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force tips line at 1-877-TIPS-4EC or 1-877-847-7432.
