Thomas W. Wright II, 49, was found shot to death inside his home on Patty Bowker Road in Tabernacle, New Jersey, on July 1, 2016. Wright owned Artisan Building Creations and was described as a well-known local businessman; his family became concerned when he failed to show up at a job site and his father went to check on him.

State police reported Wright had been shot multiple times in the head and neck. Investigators identified a former employee, 42-year-old David M. Stead of Pemberton Township, as the suspect; authorities say Stead went to Wright’s home intending to rob him, shot Wright during the encounter, then took a small amount of cash and a rental pickup truck that belonged to Wright. The truck was later found abandoned less than a mile from Stead’s home.

If anyone knew Thomas, his routines, employees, or saw the rented pickup truck near Patty Bowker Road around July 1, 2016, please share what was seen.
