Deshawn Dawkins, 27, was found shot on the evening of August 27, 2017, in the first block of South Virginia Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Police say the shooting, at about 9:15 p.m., followed an armed robbery that left Dawkins dead.

Investigators later brought charges tied to the robbery and killing. In December 2017 two Atlantic City men, Ba’shawn Whitted-Scott, 25, and Brian S. Richardson, 26, were charged with felony murder, robbery while armed resulting in death, conspiracy to commit robbery, and weapons offenses. Whitted-Scott was already jailed on separate home invasion charges; Richardson was reported as a fugitive and later faced an additional indictment for possession of a handgun by a convicted person.

An Atlantic County grand jury returned indictments against both men by March 2018. Does anyone have information about Dawkins, the robbery, or where Richardson was after the shooting?
