On a tragic evening in Millville, New Jersey, a dispute that was supposed to be settled with a one-on-one fight escalated into deadly violence, claiming the life of 20-year-old Pablo Luis Caban, a male resident of the city. The incident, which unfolded on Buck Street on May 20, 2014, also resulted in the death of his best friend, Delshawn 'Bear' Harris.
Caban, who was affectionately known as 'P.J.,' was remembered as a kind and loving person who enjoyed playing basketball and video games with his siblings.
The confrontation had been planned in advance, drawing a crowd of supporters for both sides of the intended fight. As more individuals became involved in the altercation, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. In the ensuing chaos, gunshots were fired, and both Pablo Caban and Delshawn Harris were struck by multiple bullets. Harris was pronounced dead at the scene, while Caban was rushed to Cooper University Medical Center in Camden for emergency surgery. Despite the efforts of medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries.
The joint investigation into the double homicide was conducted by the Millville Police Department and the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office. Their efforts, aided by witness information and video footage from the scene, led to the arrest of a suspect. Kevin Lamar Hall, a 29-year-old resident of Millville, was taken into custody and subsequently charged with murder and multiple weapon offenses in connection with the deaths of both young men. While Hall was arrested, authorities continued their investigation to identify if any other individuals were involved in the shooting. The deaths of Pablo Caban and Delshawn Harris were a profound loss for their families and the wider Millville community.
