Police say a 33-year-old Newark man was killed Sunday night in a home invasion gone terribly wrong.

Enrique Ponce was shot to death at 93 Delavan Ave. after three masked gunmen burst in and demanded cash, authorities say. The suspects allegedly assaulted one of the residents before shooting Ponce once in the head.

The culprits made off with a small amount of money after the attack.

Ponce was taken to University Hospital and declared dead shortly after the shooting. His death is Newark's second homicide of 2009.
