Najee Thompson, 22, was found shot on his own porch on the 100 block of Adams Avenue in Pleasantville on the night of Wednesday, October 21, 2015. He was taken to the trauma unit at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City but died of multiple gunshot wounds. The killing was Pleasantville’s fifth homicide that year and occurred days after another local killing, increasing community concern.

The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office led the investigation. Despite public appeals, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made; the case has gone cold but remains open. Community leaders and the local NAACP urged more engagement and youth activities in response to the violence.

If anyone knew Najee Thompson or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
