Murder of Rashaun Julius Nelson




Around 1 am on May 9, 2001, 21-year-old Rashaun Julius Nelson rode his bike on West Buck St in Paulsboro, New Jersey. He was confronted by two men and shot in the head causing death. He was found with at least 10 bags of cocaine and several hundred of dollars on him. So robbery does not seem to have been the motive. 

One article stated that a few weeks before his death Rashaun was confronted by a man. The man brandished a gun and threatened him. 

There was someone charged with Rashaun's murder, but they were found not guilty.
