Jahlil Boston, 34, of Egg Harbor City, N.J., allegedly used a semi-automatic firearm in the shooting. The shooting occurred at about 2 a.m. in the 1900 block of the boardwalk near Johnny Rockets restaurant at Bally’s.<\/p>\n

He was arrested shortly after the shooting and is charged with murder and several other weapons and drug counts, according to reports from prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Officials released few details on the killing. According to police, the two men knew each other, but it was unclear why the two men were near the casino.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston remained in custody early this weekend at the Atlantic County Justice Facility.<\/p>\n

The weapons charges against Boston include unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of a weapon while in the course of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute, possession of large capacity ammunition and magazine, and possession of a firearm by a person previously convicted of a predicate offense.<\/p>\n

He was also charged with several drug counts: possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, and possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute while in a public zone.<\/p>\n

Alleged Laundering of $38K at Hollywood Casino Joliet<\/h2>\n

John Tomaras was charged with money laundering following several recent incidents involving more than $38,000 at Illinois\u2019 Hollywood Casino Joliet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old Rockdale, Ill. man allegedly laundered $38,180 at the casino between February 24 and March 10, according to Patch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tomaras was arrested on March 10. His bail was set at $50,000. He was booked at Will County Jail on March 11 and later released after posting bond.<\/p>\n

Man Arrested for Indiana Casino Cheating<\/h2>\n

Gankhuyag Noosoi was arrested after allegedly cheating while playing Baccarat at an Indiana gaming property. The 54-year-old Chicago man was charged with cheating at gambling after a January 17 incident, according to the Chicago Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He either made a winning bet after the hand ended, or he changed the bet to a winning hand from a losing hand after the Baccarat game was decided, the Tribune<\/em> reported based on court documents. Noosoi then changed his bet from banker to player position as the dealer collected losing bets.<\/p>\n

The casino lost $160 from the cheating, the report added. Noosoi paid the dealer $25.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noosoi apparently had difficulty communicating with casino staff and was not fluent in English. His native language is Mongolian.<\/p>\n

The casino is located in Hammond, Ind. It wasn\u2019t named in a media report.<\/p>\n

In January 2022, Noosoi was also charged with cheating at gambling in Lake County, Indiana, the Tribune<\/em> reported. It\u2019s unclear how that charge was adjudicated in court.<\/p>\n

Accused Casino Bandit Faces Prison<\/h2>\n

Aaron Michael Kelly accepted a plea deal this month for the April 9, 2022, armed robbery in the parking lot of Maryland\u2019s Hollywood Casino<\/a>. Kelly agreed to plead guilty on March 6 to armed robbery and theft of more than $100 and less than $1,500 at the Cecil County Circuit Court.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Middle River, Md., man now faces up to 20 years in prison, according to Maryland\u2019s Cecil Whig<\/em> newspaper. He likely will be sentenced on May 16 by Judge Brenda A. Sexton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelly allegedly opened the driver\u2019s door of a parked car. He then placed a handgun on the driver\u2019s head, authorities said. He allegedly demanded money from her. She gave him the cash, and he drove away.<\/p>\n

He was originally charged with first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, a loaded handgun on a person, and numerous other charges.<\/p>\n

Kelly was arrested in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
