ATLANTIC COUNTY— A Mays Landing man was indicted yesterday for attempted murder and 8 additional criminal counts, in connection with the armed robbery and shooting of a man in Atlantic City last August, Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain announced.
On Wednesday, March 5, 2015, an Atlantic County Grand Jury indicted Najee Marshall, 35, of 4900 block of Denbigh Court, Mays Landing, for nine (9) criminal counts in connection with the August 2014 robbery and shooting of Jabril Harmon, then 26, of Atlantic City.
On Aug. 23, 2014, at approximately 12:52 p.m., Atlantic City police and emergency medical personnel responded to Kentucky Avenue for a report of a man shot in the street. Upon arrival, police found Harmon lying on the ground, bleeding from the head. Harmon was transported to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center—City Division, with a gunshot wound to the face.

An intensive investigation by the Atlantic City Police Department Violent Crimes Unit led, 4 days later, to the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of Najee Marshall on charges of aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy, and weapons offenses.
Marshall was arrested a month later, September 29, 2014, at the residence of a family member in Charlotte, North Carolina, by members of the Atlantic City Division of the United States Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force, with assistance from the local Marshals’ Task Force in North Carolina.

  • Unlawful possession of a handgun, having previously been convicted of a crime subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA)—a 2nd degree crime, and 
  • Possession of a handgun by a convicted felon—a 3rd degree crime. 

A conviction for a crime of the 1st degree carries a potential penalty of 10-20 years of incarceration in New Jersey prison; a 2nd degree conviction: 5-10 years in prison; and a 3rd degree conviction: 3 to 5 years in prison.
