Jackson Township man charged with murder in NJ killing of Toraya Reid

Authorities in Ocean County, New Jersey, say a 28-year-old woman was fatally shot outside an apartment complex on Saturday morning, and a 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with her death. Police and prosecutors identified the victim as Toraya Reid of Jackson Township and the suspect as Shaquille Green, also of Jackson Township. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said officers responded around 11 a.m. to reports of shots fired at the Paragon Apartment Complex on Larsen Road and found Reid unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds near an exit. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials said responding officers observed a man running on North New Prospect Road and took him into custody without incident. A subsequent investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, the Jackson Township Police Department, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit determined that Green, who had been in a dating relationship with Reid, was responsible for her death. Prosecutors charged him with murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon. Green is being held at the Ocean County Jail...
