“Pop-up Party” Hosts Indicted for Inciting a Riot Charges 

Woodbury, NJ – Elijah Evans, 19, of Pine Hill, and Serenity Hall, 19, of Camden, have been indicted on charges of inciting a riot after a party they allegedly hosted  led to multiple violent events and calls for service. 

According to documents filed in this case: 

On June 29, 2025, the Glassboro Police Department responded to multiple calls on  Rowan Boulevard for various reasons including an armed robbery, a shooting, a stolen motor vehicle, noise complaints, fights, burglary, and disturbances. An investigation found a pop-up “Summer Block Party” had been advertised via  social media with the date and time listed as June 29, 2025, at 10 p.m. The flyer  also contained language encouraging disorderly and unlawful behavior toward law  enforcement. 

The social media account that had shared the flyer, which reached approximately  1,000 people, was found to belong to Serenity Hall, while an account belonging to  Evans was found to have disseminated the flyer. Communication between the two  

and a juvenile were also found, showing the group organized the event. Both were charged with and subsequently indicted on one charge of fourth degree  inciting a riot. The maximum term of incarceration for this charge is 18 months in  state prison. 

The State is represented by Assistant Prosecutor Lauré Walker.
