On the afternoon of April 16, 2024, 24-year-old Nasir Tart of Clementon was shot and killed in the LaCascata townhome development in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. Surveillance footage shows Tart, who was with a small group, had an earlier encounter at a Sunoco on Blackwood-Clementon Road with 21-year-old Hasan Battie; Tart and his companions left in a white Jeep while Battie remained nearby and walked toward LaCascata. Minutes later the Jeep entered the complex and the two men met again. Court documents say an altercation escalated into a chase and Battie fired a handgun, striking Tart near one of the buildings. Police were dispatched about 5:27 p.m.; emergency responders pronounced Tart dead at the scene at 5:50 p.m.

On April 22, 2024, Battie was arrested in Camden by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. He was held at the Camden County Correctional Facility pending a pretrial detention hearing. The motive has not been released.
