VINELAND, NJ — Police have identified a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old Vineland man that took place outside a city Wawa last week.

Shaqwil Marlow, 19 of Vineland, has been charged with murder in the death of Luis Rivera, who was shot while leaving the convenience store at Park Avenue and Delsea Drive on Jan. 13, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae announced.

Marlow is still at-large, and has also been charged with possession of a weapon (firearm) for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon (firearm) and criminal mischief. The prosecutor’s office said Marlow should be considered armed and dangerous.

Meanwhile, an online fundraiser that has been launched to help pay for Rivera’s funeral costs had raised more than $4,800 as of Wednesday morning.

“Luis was an amazing father, boyfriend, son, uncle and brother,” Rivera’s girlfriend Nyasia Almodovar wrote in the Luis Rivera Funeral Cost GoFundMe page. “He would put other people before himself. My son has to grow up with no father figure in his life. My daughters can’t experience their first daddy and daughter dance, and I can’t marry my soul mate the only man I ever knew, But sadly we lost him to gun violence. This is the most painful experience for me and my family. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”
