Destiny Ann Rollar, 22, was found with a gunshot wound to the head in her home on the 100 block of East Virginia Avenue in Villas, New Jersey, on April 11, 2018. Officers who went to check on the welfare of Destiny and her two young daughters discovered her with a severe head injury; she was airlifted to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center and later died. Her twin daughters, age two, were not at the residence when police arrived and were later located safe at a family member’s home in Philadelphia.
Destiny was a cosmetology graduate of Cape May County Technical High School, a manager and hairstylist at Great Clips, and a consultant for Pink Zebra Home. She was described as hardworking and outgoing and a loving, devoted mother; she was also an organ donor.
The investigation focused on Destiny’s boyfriend, 25-year-old Charles A. Bland. On April 11 Bland was found in a Philadelphia hospital with a non-life-threatening, self-inflicted gunshot wound and was taken into custody by Philadelphia police on weapons offenses. The Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office charged Bland with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and hindering his own apprehension; he was awaiting extradition to New Jersey to face those charges.
If anyone has information about Destiny, her final hours, or the events at the Villas residence on April 11, 2018, please come forward.
