ATLANTIC CITY, NJ.- On Tuesday, Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Philadelphia Police Department apprehended a 23-year-old Galloway Township, New Jersey, man wanted in connection with gunning down two teenagers, one fatally, in early November in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

     According to Atlantic County Prosecutor William E. Reynolds, on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at around 12:30 p.m., Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and members of the Philadelphia Police Department apprehended Louis Jackson, 23, of Galloway Township, New Jersey, on the 5000 Block of Chester Avenue in the City of Philadelphia. 

     Jackson was wanted on an Atlantic County Superior Court warrant charging him with first-degree Murder; first-degree Attempted Murder; and related weapons offenses in connection with the shooting death of a 15-year-old juvenile and near-death shooting of a 17-year-old Juvenile that occurred during the late afternoon hours of November 7, 2025, on an Atlantic City street. 

     Following being taken into custody, Jackson was remanded to the Philadelphia County Department of Corrections on a fugitive-from-justice warrant, pending extradition to New Jersey.

Charges And Arrest Warrant Stems From A November Shooting

     The charges stem from an investigation that began on November 7, 2025, when, just shortly before 5:30 p.m., members of the Atlantic City Police Department responded to a multi-shot ShotSpotter activation on the 800 Block of Arkansas Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

     Upon arrival, Police Officers found a 15-year-old with the initials J.S., suffering from multiple life-threatening gunshot wounds. J.S. was transported to AtlantiCare Medical Facility, where, despite life-saving efforts, J.S. succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased a short time later. Police Officer also located a 17-year-old with the initials M.P., suffering from a gunshot wound to his face. M.P. was also transported to AtlantiCare Medical Facility for treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.

     During the ensuing investigation, Detectives of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and the Atlantic City Police Department were able to identify Jackson as the suspect and the individual responsible for the shooting death of J.S. and the shooting of M.P., and a warrant was issued for his arrest, which led to Federal Agents tracking him to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
