TOMS RIVER – Two suspects who have been identified as the individuals responsible for the murder of a young man in 2010 will remain in jail, officials announced
Maurice Cole, 36, and Jerron Evans, 41, both of Lakewood, will continue to be detained in the Ocean County Jail on the charge of Murder in connection with the death of Rondell Proctor, 22, of Arkansas, which occurred on May 27, 2010.
On that day around 12:45 a.m., officers responded to Winteringham Village Apartments located at Route 166 in Toms River regarding a shooting. Police found Proctor with several gunshot wounds to the torso as well as a gunshot wound to the face. He was transported to Community Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased, officials said.
The case then went cold for several years. However, continued investigation as well as testing of evidential items unavailable at the time of the original investigation resulted in Cole and Evans being charged.
Both Evans and Cole have been lodged in the Ocean County Jail since their apprehension on December 3.
The charges referenced above are merely accusations and the press and public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
