On the afternoon of July 25, 2023, 40-year-old Salmadine Ralsoul Johnson of Millville, New Jersey, was found dead on the 600 block of High Street after police responded to reports of gunfire at about 4:44 p.m. Initial impressions suggested a stabbing, but an autopsy established the cause of death as a gunshot wound. Surveillance video of the daylight incident has been cited as evidence in the inquiry.

Investigators identified 50-year-old Marlon D. Thompson, also from Millville, as a suspect. On July 28, 2023, Thompson was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. A search for Thompson ended when he was located and taken into custody on August 15, 2023, by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Fugitive Task Force working with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation into Johnson’s death is ongoing.

If anyone has information about Johnson, the shooting, or saw relevant activity on High Street that afternoon, please share what is known with investigators.
