On the evening of September 25, 2022, 19-year-old Malae Johnson of Mays Landing was shot inside the Pacific Food Market on Pacific Avenue in Atlantic City and later died at a nearby hospital. Surveillance video and witness accounts show a minivan arriving, and 31-year-old Malik Galloway entering the store. Johnson walked past the parked minivan into the market; shortly after, Galloway returned to the van, spoke briefly with the driver, 30-year-old Laquan Rex, then went back into the store with a gun and fired at least three shots.

Another man, Michael D’Arrigo, was wounded in the exchange described by a prosecutor as indiscriminate in a crowded store. Detectives identified the participants from video and witnesses and obtained indictments. Malik Galloway was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses; Laquan Rex was indicted on murder and conspiracy counts as the alleged getaway driver; 22-year-old Amari Rex was indicted for hindering apprehension or prosecution.

Did anyone in Atlantic City recognize the minivan or see the suspects before or after the shooting?
