Two men have been arrested and criminally charged in connection with the killing of an Ocean County resident in Asbury Park earlier this year, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey said this week.

Shakri A. Prince, 29, and Jaszhark A. Rogers, 35, both of Asbury Park, are each charged with first-degree murder, first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, and related weapons offenses in connection with the death of Yahnie Patterson, 26, of Lakewood.

Shortly after 12:15 a.m. Sat., June 18, members of the Asbury Park Police Department responded to the 1200 block of Washington Avenue on a report of shots being fired. At that location they found Patterson in the roadway, having sustained a severe head injury. Patterson was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead due to his injuries Mon., June 21.

An investigation involving members of the MCPO Major Crimes Bureau and the Asbury Park Police Department resulted in Prince and Rogers being identified as suspects in the case. Rogers was located and arrested in Neptune Township three days after the shooting, while Prince was located and arrested in Howell Township Fri.,, Aug. 19; both arrests were made with the assistance of members of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The execution of search warrants filed in connection with this case resulted in the recovery of three handguns and a quantity of ammunition. Also as a result of this investigation, a third defendant, 22-year-old Erikah E. Handy of Neptune Township, was arrested in Asbury Park on Tuesday, July 26 and charged with two counts of third-degree Theft for allegedly stealing Patterson’s vehicle and approximately $2,000 from his person in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

This case has been assigned to Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Luciano. Anyone with any information about this matter is urged to contact Prosecutor’s Office Detective Stephen Cavendish at 800-533-7443 or Asbury Park Police Department Sgt. Joseph Leon at 732-774-1300.

“This was a complicated investigation with a great number of moving parts, and the arrests of these three individuals and the removal of three handguns from the streets mark a resounding success in our continuing effort to stem the tide of gun violence in the area,” Acting Prosecutor Linskey said. “We sincerely thank our dedicated and resourceful detectives, as well as our valued investigative partners, for their untiring efforts in this matter.”

Convictions on criminal charges of this nature are commonly punishable by terms of up to life in state prison.
