Shooting on Halloween Outside of Brooklawn Bar; Suspect Arrested
BROOKLAWN, NJ (November 8, 2026)(CNBnews)— A Lindenwold man has been charged with attempted murder and related weapons offenses in connection with a shooting that injured a 26-year-old man. The incident occurred outside a Brooklawn bar during the early morning hours of Halloween, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and the Brooklawn Police Department.
Authorities announced Nov. 4 that Daejuan Sanders, 27, has been charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and third-degree aggravated assault by pointing a firearm.
According to investigators, Brooklawn police officers responded at approximately 2:17 a.m. on Oct. 31 to the Empire Sports Bar in the 300 block of Crescent Boulevard following reports of a shooting outside the establishment.
When officers arrived, they learned a 26-year-old man had been struck by gunfire and was transported by private vehicle to a local hospital. Authorities have not released updated information regarding the victim’s condition.
The investigation was conducted by detectives from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Brooklawn Police Department. Detectives determined the shooting stemmed from a physical altercation involving multiple individuals in the parking lot outside the bar.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the victim was attempting to de-escalate the confrontation when he was allegedly shot by Sanders.
Sanders was charged on Nov. 3 and later surrendered to authorities at the Brooklawn Police Department. He was subsequently remanded to the Camden County Correctional Facility, where he is being held pending a detention hearing in Superior Court.
The shooting occurred on Oct. 31, but details of the incident and the subsequent criminal charges were not publicly released until Nov. 4, four days after the incident. Authorities have not commented on the timing of the public announcement.
The investigation remains active. Anyone with information is asked to contact Senior Detective Eric Ruiz of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit at (856) 225-8686 or Lt. Raymond McKenney Jr. of the Brooklawn Police Department at (856) 456-0750, ext. 112. Tips may also be submitted anonymously through CAMDEN.TIPS.
As with all criminal defendants, Sanders is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Chevrolet Express 1500 Custom Conversion Van
127,000 Miles | Exceptional Condition | No other like it
This custom conversion van has been my pride and joy for the past six years. I have owned many vans, but this one is my favorite. It has always drawn compliments wherever I traveled. People routinely stop to admire it or give a thumbs-up as they pass. We no longer migrate to the south with the other snowbirds, and that is the main reason I am selling it. The van is in exceptional condition with a beautiful high-gloss finish, custom pinstriping, four captain’s chairs, and a rear bench seat that folds into a bed. Perfect for road trips, camping, day trips, or simply traveling in comfort.
For those who have never driven one, the van provides a higher view over the traffic in front of you and behind you. The ride is smooth. For many years, we drove to Anna Marie Island, on the west coast of Florida. Our two Labradors, Lacey and Erica, had plenty of room to settle down in the back. Those trips to the west coast took 18 hours. One year we decided to try Hilton Head Island, SC. That ride was 10 hours. If you’ve never been to HH, you don’t know what you are missing. Pristine beaches, beautiful flowers, great restaurants, and stunning scenery. We always liked the weather there in March, as it was similar to our fall in South Jersey. We stayed in the Sea Pines area. Daytime temperatures are in the 60s and 70s. January, February, and March, you could rent a home just a block or two from the beach for the same price you paid for a week rental at the shore.
