'Armed And Dangerous' Suspect In South Jersey Slaying At Large: Prosecutor

MILLVILLE, NJ — An "armed and dangerous" man accused of a fatal shooting in South Jersey was arrested Thursday night, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office. But authorities continue to search for a second suspect in last weekend's slaying of a Millville man in broad daylight.

Trasuf J. Bennett pulled up in a vehicle and shot Roshaud Rhett on Saturday morning in Millville, authorities said. Rhett, 20, of Millville, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

A second suspect, James L. Henry, returned gunfire at the scene, authorities said. Both Bennett and Henry were at large, and officials said Thursday that both should be considered armed and dangerous.

But Bennett was arrested around 11:30 p.m. Thursday night in Trenton. He was also with a 16-year-old boy who authorities were seeking. The boy was considered a runaway and has not been accused of any crimes in the incident.

Henry, 19, of Millville, remains at large as of Friday morning, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.

"Henry should be considered armed and dangerous," said the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office. "Do not approach, simply alert law enforcement."

Henry returned gunfire toward Bennett during Saturday's shooting, authorities said. He was charged that day with unlawful possession of a handgun and possessing a handgun for an unlawful purpose — both second-degree crimes.

The investigation remains ongoing.
