Sadly, Jersey City had it's first murder in 2009 this afternoon

A bodega store worker (and for those of you still checking in from the Ypsi City Desk, a bodega is a convenience store out here) was shot with a rifle and killed near Ocean Avenue and Forrest street this afternoon around 2:30. Two "young adults" entered the store and shot 59 year old Elisha Benjamin and held the rifle on other customers while the second unarmed jackass went through the register. Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said it's possible Mr. Benjamin was the intended victim. We'd agree since no other customers were robbed.

People, look, this kind of senseless crap has to end. It's not gonna stop if "nobody saw anything". It'll continue. How long will we allow ourselves to be victims these animals? Yes, Johnny said animals. Animals prey on weaker animals. These animals can only do this with a big gun, because without it, they're cowards. Let's help put cowards with guns behind bars. Make an anonymous call. Do it. If you have any idea who was involved, make the call. Hell drop Johnny a tip and he'll pass it along. We did that a couple times back in Ypsilanti, it worked. We're not some tool of the police, we'll hold them accountable here just as much, but this is murder and it's come to our town again. Take our town back.

Make a call. (201) 915-1345.
