Summer Block Party Organizers Indicted for Starting Glassboro Riot

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 bottom of the poster indicated “F*** THE COPS TURN UP!!’

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.

Prosecutor Andrew B. Johns thanked the Glassboro Police Department for their assistance in the investigation.

The charges contained in the complaint/indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
