Slain Eatontown Cab Driver Leaves Behind Wife And Daughter

EATONTOWN, NJ — Eatontown resident Anthony Hill has been identified as the man shot to death in what friends say was a "senseless" homicide at Holly Hill motel in Hazlet last Saturday, Sept. 14.

Hill worked as a cab driver for Yellow Car in Red Bank. He was fatally shot Saturday morning in the parking lot of the Hwy. 36 motel.

When Hazlet Police responded to a 911 call at 7:18 a.m. that day, they found Hill shot multiple times and lying near a Dumpster on the property. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

As of Sept. 20, no arrests have been made.

Hill, 42, known as "Ant" to his friends and family, leaves behind a wife and a daughter, according to this GoFundMe set up to raise money for them.

"Ant was a devoted husband, father and friend, known for his kind heart and dedication to his family. As a long-time cab driver for Yellow Car in Red Bank, many of you may remember him as the friendly face behind the wheel, always willing to help others," the fundraiser read. "Losing a husband and father is heartbreaking enough, but the financial burden that comes with it can be overwhelming. Donations will go directly towards funeral expenses, living costs, and any additional support they may need as they navigate life without him."
