On Wednesday, Denzel Garrison, 33, of Atlantic City and Laquine Demby, 35, of Pleasantville were sentenced for the 2021 murder of 28-year-old Jahmil Greenidge. The court sentenced Garrison to 58 years in New Jersey State Prison. Demby was sentenced to 42 years. In March of this year both men were found guilty by an Atlantic County jury following a two-weeklong trial. The evidence presented at trial showed that Garrison was involved in a minor car accident with Greenidge two months prior to the murder. A dispute over who would pay for the vehicle insurance deductibles led to a feud between the two men. Garrison enlisted the help of his friend Demby to commit the murder.
