On the evening of August 30, 2024, 30-year-old Joshua E. Jasmin of North Babylon was shot and killed outside a home on Charter Oaks Avenue in Brentwood, New York following a verbal dispute on a residential front lawn. Police say Romeo Campbell, 23, of Brentwood, fired a shotgun twice and struck Jasmin in the torso. Responding officers found Jasmin shirtless, without a pulse, and lying partially in the roadway; he was taken to South Shore University Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators report surveillance video and police body camera footage, and an eyewitness account, indicated Jasmin was unarmed during the confrontation. A shotgun and a shell casing were found inside the residence and Campbell was located nearby. Authorities say Campbell and Jasmin were known to each other.

Campbell was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and pleaded not guilty at arraignment. His attorney raised claims about a witness describing aggressive behavior by Jasmin and questioned Miranda and search issues. Prosecutors say Campbell admitted to the shooting. A grand jury indictment followed and a judge ordered Campbell held without bail; he faces 25 years to life if convicted.
