4 Indicted In Asbury Park Murder: Prosecutor

ASBURY PARK – Four men were named in a 17-count indictment charging them each with their respective roles in the shooting murder of a 23-year-old man in Asbury Park, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

Scimel Jackson, 28, of Lakewood and Prince D. Young, 22, Chyrod M. Freeman, 21, and Jahquan F. Allah, 25, all of Asbury Park, were named in the indictment handed up by a Monmouth County grand jury on Monday.

The four were charged in the shooting death of Jehadje J. McMillian and other incidents that ushered in a rash of gun violence in Asbury Park last summer, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced.

The McMillian murder happened when Asbury Park police responded to multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired in the 1100 block of Atlantic Avenue in Asbury park around 10:44 p.m. on Friday, June 14, 2019, according to an MCPO release.

Police arrived on scene to find McMillian with a gunshot wound and he was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune Township where he was pronounced dead at 12:14 a.m. on the following day, the release said.

The four men were each arrested in mid-September 2019 and are being held in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI) in Freehold Township pending trial.

If convicted of murder, Freeman and Young each face a minimum sentence of 30 years in a New Jersey state prison without parole and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, subject to the provisions of the “No Early Release Act” (NERA).

Both men would also be under parole supervision for five years following their release from state prison.

If convicted of attempted murder, Allah faces up to 20 years in prison, subject to NERA.
