On the evening of February 11, 2022, 19-year-old Adam Janson was shot and killed following a dispute inside a vehicle in the Kennedy Plaza parking lot on John F. Kennedy Way in Willingboro, New Jersey. Janson, a Burlington-area resident, was found deceased in front of a pizza establishment shortly after 7:30 p.m.

Investigators say Janson had entered a car occupied by Knowah Crowderparham, then 21, and Alexa Hess, then 19. An argument broke out and, as Janson tried to leave the vehicle, Crowderparham shot him. Crowderparham and Hess fled the scene and later attempted to clean the car at a nearby home.

Both were arrested within days. Hess of Burlington City was taken into custody on February 13 and charged with endangering an injured victim, hindering, and tampering with evidence. Crowderparham, a Beverly resident, was arrested on first-degree murder and weapons charges; in October 2023 he pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter and hindering apprehension under a plea agreement recommending a 17-year sentence.

If anyone has information about Adam, his movements that night, or the events in the Kennedy Plaza parking lot, please share what you know.
