Man fatally shot in Absecon

  • News
A man was found fatally shot in a car outside Oyster Bay in Absecon on Friday night. Lamar Gresham, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene. He has had addresses in Pleasantville and Mays Landing, but where he was last living has not yet been confirmed by authorities. A neighbor told BreakingAC she heard at least six gunshots at about 11:15 p.m. The neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, said she went outside to see police tape being put up and a man slumped dead inside a black four-door Honda Accord. She didn't recognize the man. "It's quiet around here," she said. "No problems. So it's scary seeing this." The man's body was removed around 3:30 Saturday morning. The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation with assistance from Absecon police
