Altarrek Bell was an 18-year-old visiting from North Carolina when he died on March 27, 2021, in Edgewater Park, New Jersey. He was in a parked car at the Orchard Park Apartments with his girlfriend’s 10-year-old nephew and two others when the vehicle was sprayed with bullets. Bell shielded the child from the gunfire and was fatally wounded; the car’s driver, 25-year-old Sadiel Gonzalez, was also killed. The 10-year-old and another passenger were unharmed.

Investigators determined the attack grew out of an earlier confrontation at a water ice store in nearby Willingboro. Two suspects were later arrested in connection with the double homicide: 33-year-old Andre Price of Willingboro faced multiple charges including two counts of first-degree murder, and 37-year-old Yefaan Thompson of Willingboro was charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and related offenses.

Did anyone who knew Altarrek, Sadiel, or the other people in the car witness the confrontation at the water ice store or the shooting?
