On the evening of June 8, 2015, 27-year-old Willie Z. Love III was driving in South Toms River, New Jersey, with three passengers when a 2004 Dodge Nitro pulled up alongside their vehicle and its driver fired a handgun into the car. Love was struck by a single bullet in the shoulder and chest, was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River, and died of his injuries. The death was ruled a homicide.

Police identified 26-year-old Marcus Samuels of Bayville as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Samuels later turned himself in on June 12, 2015, and was charged with murder and three weapons counts; bail was set at $1 million. A 21-year-old Bayville resident, Jennifer Rauscher, was charged with hindering apprehension for allegedly giving false information to detectives and posted $100,000 bail.

While in jail, Samuels was accused of conspiring with other inmates to influence a witness. Who in the community might have witnessed the June 8 shooting or seen the 2004 Dodge Nitro around South Toms River that evening?
