James Walter Penn III was 31 when he was shot and killed at his home in Millville, New Jersey, on September 11, 2007. He was a Black man born June 18, 1976, in Vineland and had lived much of his life in Pittsgrove Township before moving to Millville about a year earlier.

Penn was a devoted member of St. Matthew Baptist Church for 19 years, a 1994 graduate of Arthur P. Schalick High School and a four-time football MVP there. He also played Little League Baseball in Elmer and attended Cumberland County College and DeVry University. He was a father to three children: Jacel Malvese Penn, James Walter Spencer Penn, and Jyah Penn.

Funeral services were held at St. Matthew Baptist Church in Williamstown and he was buried at Eglington Cemetery in Clarksboro.

Does anyone have information about the events of September 11, 2007, or the subsequent investigation?
