On the night of December 30, 2022, 41-year-old Amad Jones was found lying in the road on Gosselin Avenue in Fort Monmouth, Oceanport, New Jersey, with a gunshot wound to his chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the shooting occurred just before 10 p.m.; Jones had previously lived in the borough.

A suspect, 41-year-old Michael Westbrook of nearby Neptune Township, turned himself in to the Neptune Township Police Department shortly after the shooting and was arrested. He was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and third-degree hindering his own apprehension. Reports link the shooting to a personal dispute between Jones and Westbrook, and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office is handling the case.

Are there residents or witnesses from Fort Monmouth who recall anything from that night or who knew Amad Jones?
