On the evening of November 21, 2020, multiple 911 calls reported shots fired on the 200 block of Cedar Avenue in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Officers from Egg Harbor Township and Pleasantville found 54-year-old Rennel Turner of Atlantic City in a driveway with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.

The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Egg Harbor Township Police Department led the investigation. Less than two weeks later, 28-year-old Devon J. Hill of Egg Harbor Township was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated manslaughter and two second-degree weapons counts. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Hill went to the Cedar Avenue address with a friend to confront Turner about a prior altercation, a physical confrontation occurred, and Hill allegedly produced a gun and shot Turner multiple times; several witnesses reportedly corroborated that account.
