25-year-old Jerry Crawford of Atlantic City was doing time for burglary. He was allowed to leave prison on November 4, 2020. On November 6, investigators say he and another man shot Davion Scarbrough to death.

The report of the ICE arrests was blasted by the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, which has been advocating for the early release.

“These inmates who are COVID-19 positive will be riding public transportation with patrons that are unsuspecting of the fact they may have patient zero on their bus," state Sen. Michael Testa said Wednesday.
