A Sicklerville man who was 17 when he allegedly shot and killed a teen last year in Pleasantville has been waived up to adult court.
Isaiah Newsome was 17 when he allegedly shot Dr. Steven Davion Garrett, 17, in Pleasantville.
Garrett's body was found in Max Manning Park at about 12:50 p.m. Aug. 7, 2015.
He died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to an autopsy, which ruled the death a homicide.
Newsome was arrested Oct. 8, 2015, at his Sicklerville school. He was first lodged in the Harborfields Juvenile Detention Center in Egg Harbor City, then moved to the Atlantic County Justice Facility, acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Diane Ruberton said.
Friday morning, Family Court Judge Susan Maven waived him up to adult court.
Newsome is accused of using a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver to shoot Garrett three times.
He is charged with murder, involvement in criminal street gang activity, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.
He is being held on $750,000 full cash bail.
