Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Willingboro Township Police Chief Ian S. Bucs announced that a teenager has been charged with attempted murder after shooting at a person in the yard of a residence in the Garfield Park section of Willingboro Township.
The name of the defendant, a 16-year-old male, cannot be released because he is a juvenile. He was charged with Attempted Murder (First Degree), Aggravated Assault (Second Degree) Unlawful Possession of a Weapon (Second Degree), Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose (Second Degree), Unlawful Possession of a Weapon (Third Degree), Receiving Stolen Property (Third Degree), Aggravated Assault (Fourth Degree), Possession of a Firearm by a Minor (Fourth Degree), Unlawful Possession of a Weapon (Fourth Degree), and Possession of Armor-Piercing Ammunition (Fourth Degree).
The defendant was placed in a juvenile detention facility in Middlesex County pending a hearing in Superior Court in Mount Holly.
The investigation began the afternoon of July 25 after a resident of Garland Lane called police to report that someone had fired multiple shots from a moving vehicle at a family member who was in the front yard. The intended victim was not struck, but the residence was hit by gunfire.

Some test a drug or procedure. Others track health events without changing care. For many of us, the subject becomes far easier once the main categories are named and defined plainly. A clear map helps readers follow safety data, treatment results, and the reason one research method is chosen over another.
Interventional trials place a treatment, device, activity, or procedure into a planned study setting, then measure what follows. A plain summary at https://www.clinicaltrials.astellas.com/types-of-clinical-trials helps readers see why active testing differs from observation alone and why controlled comparison matters before wider use. Researchers use this design to study benefit, dose, side effects, and whether a new option performs better than current care.

The Holt Family Arrives in Gloucester City

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Holt Marine Terminal encompasses 125 acres of Gloucester City waterfront property.
GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (CNBNews)(August 3, 2026)--Driving from North Broadway onto Hudson Street recently, it was hard not to see the giant cranes blocking the skylight as you got closer to the Holt Marine Terminal in Gloucester City. Some of those cranes that towered over the Mill Block properties, located between King Street and Ellis Street, were 20 stories high. There was a constant humming noise emitted from the terminal as we drove on Ellis Street towards Mercer Street.
You have to wonder how the people who reside so close to this terminal deal with the seven-day-a-week operation. When a container ship carrying fruit, meat, or some other commodity arrives, residents in the area are given no consideration. Their only choices are to move or sleep with a pillow over their heads.
Presently, the City has signed an agreement with a real estate developer who plans to build 350 apartments at the former Coast Guard Base, about 100 yards from the marine terminal. The Holt family is fighting the proposal. Their lawsuit claims that the development plan, which would be built just feet from Holt’s office building, would interfere with their operation.
59 YEARS AGO HOLT ARRIVED IN GLOUCESTER CITY
In 1967, Leo A. Holt Sr., the father of Thomas Holt, purchased 37 acres of the former New York Ship property. Interested in the same property at the time was the Camden County Municipal Utlities Authority (CCMUA). Gloucester City Mayor Vince Daily fought against the CCMUA moving into his community. Thank God for Mayor Daily. That agency processes roughly 58 million gallons of sewage every day at its main plant in South Camden. People living near it claim the smell coming from their property is sickening some days.

Holt was an independent truck driver serving Mom and Pop stores. Holt Motor Express had 10 trucks. And they owned 11 warehouses around the Philadelphia and Camden City area. Leo Holt Sr., died in 1968. After his death, his sons took over Holt Motor Express and expanded into the stevedoring business.
