LINDEN — Amber Wilson, a recent graduate of Linden High School, was walking along Hussa Street in the city with a friend late one evening last summer.

The pair had just left a Dunkin’ Donuts on nearby North Wood Avenue, heading to the home of a mutual friend. Just past the leafy corner, where Hussa meets Maple Avenue, they were approached by at least one person.
Words were exchanged and at least one gunshot echoed through the quiet residential neighborhood.

*July 2022:
"She went out with a friend. They were going to Dunkin' Donuts because she loved brownies and they were at the Dunkin' Donuts, and she had said, 'Oh well Dad, I'll see you tomorrow.' Pretty much that was the last time I spoke to her," Duncan said.

According to police, Amber and a friend were on Hussa Street just before midnight when they were approached and robbed. Words were exchanged and Amber was shot in the head.

"The girls had a few dollars on them. They had cellphones," said Duncan, who's still in disbelief.

"She was a sweet girl. She never gave me any trouble. She was good in school," Duncan said. "The toughest loss in my life."

Amber was a cheerleader, loved butterflies and had a scholarship to study criminal justice at Saint Peter's University in Jersey City. She wanted to be a state trooper.

"She had participated in a trooper youth program for a week and she said, 'Dad, that was one of the toughest things I've ever been through,'" Duncan told Gainer.

In an instant, his daughter's dream was gone. Ten years later, there's no suspect in sight.

"The wheels of justice grind ever so slow," Duncan said. "Somebody knows something. Her friend obviously knows who it was. But for fear of retribution I guess, she hasn't said anything."
