Davonte Carswell, 23, was shot and killed inside the Los Yoleros Mini Market Deli on Ocean Avenue in Jersey City on November 15, 2015. The deli reportedly also housed an illegal gambling operation. The shooting occurred about 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon.

After the shooting, people inside the deli moved Carswell’s body instead of immediately calling police, and three people — Gabino Tineo, 44; Isabel Dominguez, 37; and Marcelino Ramos Jr., 32 — were arrested on charges of tampering with physical evidence and possession of gambling records. They were not believed to have carried out the shooting. Investigators focused on 23-year-old DeAndre Thomas of Jersey City, who had a prior record including a recent prison term for aggravated assault; a warrant was issued for his arrest.

DeAndre Thomas was later arrested and pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter. A judge sentenced him to eight years in prison for Carswell’s death. Did anyone in Jersey City know Davonte or have information about the deli and the gambling operation that could shed more light on what happened that day?
