1. The killing of Earl "Everlasting" Sanders

In the early morning hours of April 29, 54-year-old Earl "Everlasting" Sanders of Neptune was shot and killed while driving on Route 18 in Colts Neck. The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office has announced it is investigating whether the killing is tied to an earlier altercation at a barber shop in Asbury Park or a club in Freehold.

Sanders ran a barber shop near the train station in Asbury Park and had attended a birthday party in Freehold in the hours before he was killed. Police recovered approximately a dozen 9 mm bullet casings along a half-mile stretch of Route 18, indicating Sanders' killer or killers had shot into Sanders' car while moving along the highway.

The killing is still under investigation. Authorities asked anyone with information to call their local police department or the Monmouth County Crime Stoppers, which accepts anonymous tips, at 800-671-4400. You can also text "MONMOUTH" plus a tip to 274637 (CRIMES).

2. The killing of Sciasia Calhoun

Sciasia Calhoun, 24, of Freehold Borough was killed under similar circumstances as Sanders but authorities believe there is no connection between the killings.

Calhoun was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 3 as she was driving near Route 33 in Freehold.

The prosecutor's office has charged 36-year-old Kader Mustafa in Calhoun's death and are investigating whether he was tied to:
