On the evening of October 7, 2021, 17-year-old Albert Israel Williams III was shot in the chest during an altercation in the parking lot of a Walmart on Route 541 in Burlington Township, New Jersey. Albert, known to family as Poocho or Albe and to friends as AJ, was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden and later died of his injuries. His father, Dion E. Williams Sr., was also wounded and treated at the hospital before being released.

Investigators identified multiple suspects and a grand jury returned a 14-count indictment that included first-degree murder and second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery. The indictment named Tarik Jenkins, 25, of Pemberton Township; Jayviyohn J. Earley, 19; Kweli L. McCants, 20; and Kayhree Simmons, 19, of Willingboro. Earley, Simmons, and Jenkins face first-degree murder and weapons charges; all four are charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and a range of related counts including drug and weapons offenses, aggravated assault, hindering apprehension, and obstructing administration of law.

One suspect, Tarik Jenkins, was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force at a residence in Edgewater Park; other apprehensions occurred in the days and months after the shooting. Does anyone have information about Albert, the incident that night, or the people involved?
