Bernard Murphy, 36, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on October 17, 2019, near Florida and Pacific avenues in Atlantic City. Known to some as Sunni, he was a father of three and worked in security. The ShotSpotter system alerted police to the shooting late that night.

Within days authorities arrested 31-year-old Roberto Rios on murder and weapons charges; police alleged Rios fired the shots that killed Murphy. A 17-year-old who was reportedly with Rios fled the scene in a car and discarded two firearms into the bay near Sunset and Nevada avenues; those weapons were later recovered. The juvenile was taken into custody the same night and charged with weapons offenses and eluding police, and was held at the Harborfields Juvenile Detention Center while Rios was detained at the Atlantic County Justice Facility awaiting a detention hearing.

If anyone knew Murphy, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting or the recovered firearms, please come forward with tips.
