According to the preliminary investigation, officers assigned to the Atlantic City Police Department’s (ACPD) SWAT team, along with members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office SWAT team, attempted to execute a search warrant at a residence on the 100 block of North Florida Avenue on June 2, 2026. Upon arrival, officers observed the front door was open, but an individual inside closed it. Officers announced their presence and purpose at the door, then used a mechanical device to breach it.

As the door opened, Mr. Gardner, who was inside the residence, fired multiple gunshots at the officers. A projectile hit one ACPD officer in the helmet; another ACPD officer sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. Officer Robert Reynolds of the ACPD, who was not struck by gunfire, responded and fired his weapon multiple times, striking Mr. Gardner. Mr. Gardner was subsequently pronounced deceased. A handgun was recovered from the residence. The two wounded officers were transported to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center.

The circumstances of the encounter and cause and manner of death are under investigation, which is ongoing. No further information is being released at this time.

A 2019 law, N.J.S.A. 52:17B-107(a)(2), requires the Attorney General’s Office to conduct investigations of a person’s death that occurs during an encounter with a law enforcement officer acting in the officer’s official capacity or while the decedent is in custody. It requires that all such investigations be presented to a grand jury to determine if the evidence supports the return of an indictment against the officer or officers involved.

Three Unlocked Cars Entered- One Car Stolen Within 2 ½ Minutes!

This video wasn’t created to embarrass the victims of this crime, it was created to bring education, public awareness, and to show the best example of how quickly these young criminals are committing these crimes. They almost always arrive into our Gloucester Township and surrounding town neighborhoods in a stolen vehicle, several suspects bail out and begin checking door handles on vehicles parked in neighborhoods, steal valuables, and attempt to steal the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal and start button in the event the key FOB was left in that vehicle. If successful, they’ll use that stolen vehicle to commit more crimes, then dump it somewhere when they’re done.
