— Bruce Gordon (@BGordonFox29) November 20, 2019 Charges against Alvin Wyatt, 31 of Atlantic City, have been upgraded to murder, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner announced. He was initially charged with two counts of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.



He was one of five people who were charged in the shooting. He is the only one who has been charged with murder, according to the prosecutor's office. Michael Mack, 27, Tyrell Dorn, 28, Shahid Dixon, 27–all of Atlantic City— and Vance Golden, 26, of Pleasantville, are all charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and certain persons not to possess a weapon. Dixon is also charged with eluding.

"On behalf of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, we would like to express our sincere condolences to the Tennant family on the tragic passing of Micah," Tyner said. "Words at this time seem so insufficient to portray the anger and outrage that our community feels regarding his loss. However, his spirit will live on in so many people that he inspired. I have directed the charges against Alvin Wyatt be immediately upgraded to Murder. The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office will seek to prosecute this matter to the fullest extent of the law."

"When a tragedy like that happens, it's no fun. You hate to see it. You pray for the families and everyone involved," Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said during a press conference on Wednesday, according to 6ABC.

"We are all devastated by the news of Micah Tennant's passing. Tammy and I send our condolences to Dew's mother, Angela, and everyone who knew and loved him," Gov. Phil Murphy said. "No child deserves to have their promising life cut short, especially by indiscriminate and senseless gun violence. No parent deserves to bury their child. We will hold Dew's memory close, and we will remember his name, as we continue our work to make New Jersey safer for all of our families."

The boy's mother, Angela Tennant, had been optimistic. Micah had been listed in critical condition at Cooper Hospital in Camden, according to authorities.

A GoFundMe for Micah's treatment raised more than $21,000. The fundraiser, which has a $20,000 goal, was set up on Tennant's behalf. Micah had a vibrant smile, the page said. He also had a big personality, according to his mother. Tennant posted videos of Dew dancing and flexing.
