Jazmen Martin-Richardson, a 30-year-old mother of two, was fatally shot inside her Iowa Avenue home in Pleasantville, New Jersey on May 23, 2022. Medical personnel pronounced her dead after responding shortly after midnight. Her two young sons were asleep in the house at the time.

Investigators quickly focused on her 36-year-old boyfriend, Lamar Pitts of Atlantic City. Pitts placed the 911 call reporting that Martin-Richardson had been shot in the chest. Authorities say a week before the killing Pitts allegedly had brandished a handgun during a verbal dispute with Martin-Richardson. Later the same day he was arrested and charged with aggravated manslaughter, unlawful possession of a weapon, receiving stolen property after investigators determined the handgun was stolen, and additional weapons offenses. Prosecutors say Pitts was prohibited from possessing a firearm because of a 2013 drug conviction; he was lodged at the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

Are there details about Jazmen’s life in Pleasantville or witnesses who can shed light on the week before her death?
