On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 8, 2025, gunfire broke out on the 1100 block of Atlantic Avenue in Asbury Park. Police responding to reports of shots fired at about 4:25 p.m. found 19-year-old Ah’kim Esdaile suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Bureau and the Asbury Park Police Department opened an intensive investigation and sought public help identifying a suspect and a motive. No arrest was announced in the weeks following the shooting, leaving the community without answers.

On Monday, July 14, 2025, authorities arrested 19-year-old Jordan Glisson of Asbury Park and charged him with first-degree murder and multiple weapons offenses in connection with Esdaile’s death. Glisson was held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution pending his first court appearance.
