OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On November 5, 2021, members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office attempted to execute a residential search warrant on Chelsea Avenue in Long Branch. During the operation, Mark D. Walker II shot and wounded one of the detectives. The detectives retreated, and Walker barricaded himself inside the residence with his two-week-old infant. Negotiations continued for approximately seven hours without success. Around 2 a.m. on November 6, a fire erupted in the apartment building. Walker fled the building holding the infant and fired several rounds at officers, striking a BearCat vehicle. In response, three MOCERT officers returned fire, fatally wounding Walker, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The infant was unharmed.
