On the morning of June 25, 2017, Deanna Marie Scordo, 45, was found in her bedroom at the family blueberry farm in Winslow Township, New Jersey, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say the discovery followed a report of a home invasion; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified two suspects: 20-year-old Tyler Dralle of Vineland and 17-year-old Kwamere Benjamin of New Castle, Delaware. Investigators say Dralle had been driving his girlfriend to her job at the Scordo farm and hatched a plan to burglarize the home. During the break-in the pair allegedly shot Scordo three times and fled with rolled coins and other valuables. Surveillance footage showed Dralle cashing a large number of coins at a nearby supermarket hours after the killing, and deleted text messages about robberies and firearms were also recovered.

Both men were arrested and charged with felony murder, armed robbery, and related offenses; Benjamin was charged as an adult. In January 2020 a jury found both guilty on all counts. If anyone knew Deanna, her routines, or saw activity near the farm before dawn on June 25, 2017, please share what was observed.
