A teenage boy from Newark, aged 14, currently faces charges for the unfortunate killing of Detective Joseph Azcona earlier in the month. This youth, a product of a family extensively entangled in severe criminal offenses and illicit drug trade, has shocked the community with the seriousness of his alleged crime. The incident bitterly unfolded around the vicinity of Broadway and Carteret Street in Newark. This location proved to be the fatal ground where Officer Azcona, an intelligence unit member collaborating with ATF and FBI, was shot to death during an inquiry into illegal firearm activities.
Theodore Stephens, the Prosecutor for Essex County, brought to light the shocking circumstances of Azcona’s death. The detective was brutally shot down before he even had the chance to step out of the confines of his police vehicle. Stephens voiced distressing concerns about how a teenager as young as 14 was engaged in such volatile circumstances, prepared and willing to enact deadly violence against law enforcement officers.
According to Prosecutor Stephens, this debilitating situation is highly alarming and requires immediate attention and resolution. The details about the young offender’s identity have been withheld considering his minor status, complicating the situation. The young adolescent had only recently moved to the city of Newark from Georgia merely half a year ago.
In stark contrast to his current situation, the boy had shown promising involvement in positive activities prior to his relocation. He had been a high school sports enthusiast, having been actively participating in basketball and football. Despite this seemingly normal teenage life, information from reliable sources indicates he was already intertwined in a life of crime.
Reports reveal a concerning history of serious criminal offenses the boy was associated with before his life in Newark, including allegations of theft. Rabiyah Sorey, his 43-year-old mother, is notorious in the law enforcement circle as a drug dealer who has been operating in the North Ninth Street for a considerable period.
Rabiyah was once revealed to be an affiliate of the infamous street gang, the Bloods, and was apprehended during a home drug bust in 2010. As evidenced by the numerous run-ins with the law, she has been accused repeatedly of dealing a large array of drugs in the Newark community, ranging from cocaine and crack to other potent narcotics.
Notably, Rabiyah’s identical twin Hadiyah Sorey, also 43, is suspected of being her confederate in the thriving yet illegal drug trading business. Hadiyah is known to display a defiant lack of regret about their life choices and has gone as far as to boast about their influential capabilities in the underworld.
Interestingly enough, Hadiyah was reported to have cautioned her sister against bringing the young boy into the challenging environment of Newark, aware of the potential impacts on his life. The boy’s premature exposure to such a perilous and lawless environment is likely to have significantly molded his life path, sadly leading him toward a potential life of crime.
As a tragic culmination of these circumstances, the boy is now standing accused of the horrendous murder of Detective Joseph Azcona, coming full circle from his early exposure to crime. Sources close to the family paint a troubled picture of a household deeply immersed and entangled in a labyrinth of unlawful activities.
