Davion Marquis Scarborough was 18 when he was shot dead in Bridgeton, New Jersey. He was last seen on November 6, 2020 leaving the Burlington Manor apartment complex with two men, identified as 23-year-old Yusuf Waites and 25-year-old Jerry Crawford. Three days later, on November 9, officers responding to reports of gunfire found Davion’s body in a field near South Burlington Road and Pamphylia Avenue; he had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Bridgeton Police Department’s Detective Bureau and the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit investigated. Authorities say an altercation occurred after the three walked to the nearby field. Yusuf Waites and Jerry Crawford were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and held at the county jail pending a detention hearing. Crawford had been released from prison just days before the killing under a COVID-19 public health emergency credit program.

Anyone who knew Davion or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
