BERKELEY – A township resident with a long criminal history was sentenced to 20 years in a state prison for the manslaughter death of a man in 2020.
Angelo Grenci, 47, of Berkeley Township, will have to serve 85% of his term before being eligible for parole subject to the terms of the No Early Release Act.
On November 14, 2020, Carlton Williams, 50, of Seaside Heights had been stabbed in the neck and was flown to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries a week later.
A post mortem examination was performed by the Ocean County Medical Examiner and determined the cause of Williams’s death to be anoxic brain injury secondary to massive bleed from a stab to the neck, and the manner of death to be homicide.
Authorities later determined that Grenci stabbed Williams during an altercation in the area of Magnolia Avenue at around 7 p.m. on November 14. He was taken into custody at his home without incident.
Grenci has since been lodged in New Jersey State Prison where he is presently serving a sentence on an unrelated matter.
He had been profiled on “America’s Most Wanted” due to a 2002 charge of aggravated assault and burglary.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Michael Abatemarco and Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Veni who handled the case on behalf of the State, and commended the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Victim Witness Advocacy Unit, Berkeley Police Detective Bureau, Toms River Police, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office, Ocean County Department of Corrections, State of New Jersey Department of Corrections, and New Jersey State Parole Board, for their collaborative efforts in connection with this matter leading to Grenci’s swift apprehension, guilty plea, and now his state prison sentence.
