Bridgeton police seek murder suspect after fatal apartment shooting

Bridgeton police are looking for 32-year-old Rynell L. Lawrence after Quashawn T. White, 33, of Newark, was shot multiple times at Burlington Manor Apartments on South Burlington Road and later died at Inspira Health Center Vineland. Cumberland County prosecutors charged Lawrence on June 26 with murder and weapons offenses and said he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Officers responded to 90 S. Burlington Road at about 8:08 p.m. on June 24 after reports of shots fired and a gunshot victim. Police found White with multiple gunshot wounds and rushed him to Inspira Health Center Vineland. Authorities ask the public not to approach Lawrence and to contact the New Jersey State Police Fugitive Unit, the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, the Bridgeton Police Department or CCPO.TIPS with any information.

On March 16, 2021, 19-year-old Aaliyah Eubanks was killed in her apartment there shortly after 3 a.m. Investigators believed multiple suspects entered her apartment, and a gun recovered in Millville was linked to that homicide through ballistics. In December 2023, two more people, a 17-year-old female and a 41-year-old male, were shot at Burlington Manor.

Court records show Lawrence previously received an 18-month state prison sentence after pleading guilty in a 2017 second-degree robbery case. He was also charged with resisting arrest by flight in May 2025, and that case was sent back to municipal court. Prosecutors have not said where Lawrence may be, only that he is wanted on the murder warrant and should be treated as armed.

White's obituary named him as Quashawn T. White, born Dec. 3, 1992, in Trenton, the son of William Lee and Facethia White. A visitation was scheduled for Friday, July 3, at Funeraria Alvarez de Paterson in Paterson. Investigators continue to ask anyone with information to come forward through law enforcement rather than try to make contact on their own.
