On the evening of February 21, 2021, a 911 call reported a man collapsing in the middle of Tudor Court in Lakewood, New Jersey. Responding officers found 20-year-old Da’Jour Randolph of Little Egg Harbor with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus, in Lakewood, where he died. An autopsy later showed Randolph had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, the Lakewood Township Police Department, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit all worked on the case. Detectives identified a suspect, Jahvontae Debose of Lakewood, who was taken into custody on February 23, 2021, after a motor vehicle stop in Pleasantville and initially charged with drug and weapons offenses. On February 25, 2021, while in the Ocean County Jail, Debose was charged with Randolph’s murder and a grand jury later returned an indictment.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or was in the Tudor Court area that evening, does anyone have information to share?
