Teen who killed Newark cop comes from ‘bad family,’ sources said

The recent tragic shooting of Detective Joseph Azcona in Newark has shed light on the troubled background of the 14-year-old boy accused of the crime. The boy comes from a family with a history of violent crime, with his mother, Rabiyah Sorey, being a known drug dealer in the area. Her twin sister, Hadiyah Sorey, is also involved in the family business of drug dealing. Both women have been arrested multiple times on weapons charges and drug-related offenses.

Rabiyah Sorey, the mother of the accused teen, has a long history of dealing cocaine, crack, and other drugs in the neighborhood. She was even a known member of the Bloods gang at one point. Her sister, Hadiyah, openly boasts about making $4,000 a day selling drugs and claims to have control over the drug trade in Newark’s North Ward. The source revealed that the family has a reputation for criminal activity and has been involved in numerous weapons charges over the years.

The teen, who recently moved to Newark from Georgia, where he was involved in sports, has a criminal record that includes multiple arrests for serious offenses like robbery. His aunt expressed regret about him moving to Newark and believed he would have been better off staying in Georgia. She mentioned trying to keep area kids out of trouble, but it seems that her motives are more about protecting her own interests than genuinely caring for the community.

The tragic incident that led to Detective Azcona’s death has brought to light the dark underbelly of crime that exists in Newark. The family background of the accused teen paints a troubling picture of a young boy who grew up surrounded by violence and illegal activities. It serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in tackling crime in communities where criminal behavior is deeply rooted. The investigation into the shooting continues, and the community mourns the loss of a dedicated officer who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty.
