Eric Wynn, a 34-year-old Black man from Atlantic City, was shot on the city’s boardwalk in the early morning hours of March 18, 2023. The shooting occurred at approximately 1:55 a.m. in the 1900 block of the boardwalk near the Johnny Rockets restaurant connected to Bally’s Casino. Officers found Wynn with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Atlantic City Police personnel working in the ACHILES Surveillance Center tracked a suspect on camera feeds and directed patrol officers to him within minutes. A 34-year-old man from Egg Harbor City, identified as Jahlil Boston, was apprehended in possession of a loaded semi-automatic firearm. Investigators said the shooting was not random and that Boston and Wynn were acquainted.

Boston was charged with murder, weapons offenses and multiple drug counts, and a grand jury indicted him for murder in April 2023. Prosecutors later said Boston admitted to the killing in a recorded interview; his attorney disputed that claim. If anyone knew Eric Wynn or has information about that night, please share what can help the case.
