"Camden County authorities have captured a suspect in a robbery linked to the kidnapping and murder of Curtis Jenkins III, the grandson of Camden City Council President Curtis Jenkins Sr., police said Monday. Dan Keashen, a spokesman for the Camden County Metro Police Department, said the suspect was arrested and charged with robbery...

The apprehension of the robbery suspect, Jalen Carr, 22, of Sicklerville, on Friday, July 5, came as a break in the kidnapping and murder of Jenkins, 20. Jenkins’ body was found in an abandoned garage on the 1100 block of Liberty Street in Camden on July 2— a day after he was reported missing by his father, Curtis Jenkins Jr. Police investigators said Jenkins’ body was wrapped in a sheet, his hands and feet bound together, with a plastic bag covering his head. He died of asphyxia, or lack of oxygen, authorities said.

Carr was charged with two counts of armed robbery, one count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of weapon. He is being held at the Camden County Jail, according to a spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office. Carr allegedly took part in a home invasion and robbery of a cellphone used to call the victim’s family and demand a ransom in exchange for Jenkins’ safe return."
