On August 19, 2020, a wellness check at a Warrick Avenue home in Glassboro, New Jersey, turned up the bodies of 36-year-old Shantal Farrow and 26-year-old Manuel DelaRosa Jr., both killed by gunshot wounds. Authorities quickly classified the deaths as homicides and said the two men had been specifically targeted; the initial investigation did not establish a clear motive.

Farrow was remembered as a warm, goofy presence who worked at the café at Rowan University and had a wide circle of friends. Investigators from the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office and Glassboro Police used cellphone data and street surveillance to reconstruct events and concluded the incident was a botched robbery involving cash and marijuana.

Within weeks four people were charged in the double homicide: Devon J. Conover, 19, of Trenton; Abdelgadi H. Hassan, 19, of Trenton; Daniel P. Hall, 23, of Teaneck; and Altaifjoe H. Hassan, 23, of Glassboro. Charges included murder, felony murder, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery and weapons offenses. If anyone knew Shantal or has information about that August day, please come forward.
