Toms River

Protests over the killing of George Floyd remained peaceful Tuesday in New Jersey with police and public officials in some cases joining the demonstrators.

A peaceful march of about 100 people went through downtown on Tuesday morning to protest last week's death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

The Toms River Police Department joined peaceful protestors in a demonstration in Downtown Toms River today.

Following the peaceful protests in Asbury Park yesterday, there are plans for a protest in Toms River today.

State Police and education officials said "wave parades" and any in-person ceremonies should be postponed until after pandemic restrictions are lifted.

A coalition of education organizations wants Gov. Phil Murphy to keep public and private schools closed for the rest of the academic year.

The search for the boater, identified by State Police as Matthew Conway, 67, of Ocean Gate, was called off on Wednesday.

The search continues for a man who went missing on a rowboat during Tuesday's powerful thunderstorms. The Coast Guard found his lifejacket and rowboat on Tuesday night.

There are several sites that are county run, while both state-run drive thru locations will handle more tests daily.

The Ocean County Health Department is reporting three new positive cases of COVID-19 coronavirus have been identified in the county.
