Gerald Ignacio Alvarez, 22, of Mays Landing, was one of two men found dead in a motel room at the Red Roof Inn on East Absecon Boulevard in Absecon, New Jersey, after a 9-1-1 call at 4:58 a.m. on March 1, 2015. An autopsy determined Alvarez died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators described the scene as a violent, exchanged-gunfire robbery gone wrong involving people in the room who were allegedly armed and distributing drugs. Two men arrived at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center with gunshot wounds from the same incident. After an 18-month probe by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Absecon Police Department, charges were filed in August 2016. Four men were charged with the felony murder of Alvarez and with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and weapons offenses; three others faced drug and gun possession counts.

Are there details about Alvarez’s last known movements or associates that could help clarify what happened that night?
