In the early morning hours of August 28, 2000, Sergeant Carlton Daniel Jenkins, 36, of the Camden County Sheriff’s Office was shot and killed during a traffic stop on northbound I-95 near mile marker 19 at about 12:39 a.m. A seven-year department veteran and the office’s 1999 Officer of the Year, he was survived by his wife and five children.

Jenkins had stopped a vehicle tied to several armed robberies in a neighboring Florida jurisdiction. After ordering the driver to exit and move to the rear, the suspect initially stood in the doorway, then reached back into the car, produced a weapon and fired four shots. After Jenkins fell, the assailant used the officer’s service weapon to fire a final fatal shot to the head; the exchange lasted less than twenty seconds. A passing truck driver witnessed part of the incident and used Jenkins’ radio to call for help and describe the vehicle.

That description led to an arrest about four hours later. Jason Bryant was charged with murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; prosecutors introduced traffic stop video and DNA evidence linking Jenkins’ blood to the car Bryant was driving.

Did anyone who knew Sergeant Jenkins or who was in the area that night see or hear anything that might add detail to the timeline?
