Christopher Romero, 26, was fatally shot on September 1, 2016, at the Zumiez store in The Walk outlet center in Atlantic City, where he worked as a manager. The midday attack was described as domestic-related: Romero was in a relationship with a woman who was expecting a child with him, and the shooter’s motive was reported to be jealousy.

The shooter was identified as 55-year-old Luis Maisonet of Somers Point. After firing multiple shots at Romero inside the store, Maisonet fled across the boulevard to the White House Black Market, where he pointed a handgun at another person and then shot himself. An off-duty Bellmawr police officer shopping at the outlets intervened, wrestled the gun away, and Maisonet was taken into custody. Both Romero and Maisonet were transported to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where Romero was pronounced dead and Maisonet was hospitalized in critical condition.

Romero lived in Absecon and was a father of two; his second child was born after his death. An open question remains for anyone who was at The Walk that day: did you see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline or the moments leading up to the shooting?
