On a Sunday night in Atlantic City officers responded at about 10:06 p.m. to multiple gunshots in the 1100 block of Monroe Avenue and found two men struck by gunfire. One of them, 37-year-old Kevin Gayle Jr. of Marmora, was found unresponsive and was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Division, where he was pronounced deceased. Family remembered him as having a funny personality, being willing to help friends, and enjoying taking his children to the waterpark.

The other victim, 24-year-old Lyndon Russell Jr. of Atlantic City, was also transported to the same hospital and admitted for treatment. A witness said a car sped away down Ohio Avenue shortly after the shooting. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Atlantic City Police Department Violent Crimes Unit are investigating; as of late January 2024 no arrests had been announced.

Did anyone in the community see the vehicle that left the scene or know anything that could help investigators?
